10Best Says

Head to Sylvan Park for a mouthwatering plate of Old World pasta, lovingly made by Chef Daniel Maggipinto, the former executive chef of the Hearst Corporation in New York. A majority of the meals are prepared by the old family recipes of his grandmother, Nonna - and just one visit will be enough to get you hooked on the homey and delicious plates coming out of the small kitchen. Plates piled with fettucine with pesto cream sauce or agnolotti with pancetta, white wine and marinara are some of the stars, and don't leave without tasting one of their sweet endings.
