All these pair with our scratch-made sauces including a classic basil pesto with local basil, marinara, vodka and a savory white sauce. We make our own Roman style pasta dough and pizza sauce for all your at-home pizza making skills. We also provide our signature award-winning handmade meatballs, and fresh, homemade family meals that are ready to bake.
