"A large portion of pasta at Paulie’s, a casual Italian restaurant in Montrose, runs around $23. While this exceeds that $15, the portion is enough for two meals. Unless you recently trekked through the desert without sustenance or need a pre-marathon carb load, you won’t be able to finish an entire large pasta by yourself. So that $23 will supply you, your children, and your children’s children with housemade rigatoni bolognese or savory canestri in a mushroom cream sauce. The portion-to-price ratio also applies to the entrees and the salads, including a crunchy caesar with a generous blanket of parmesan. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
