Students and locals crowd Carlo's Cucina Italiana to enjoy favorites like rigatoni alla puttanesca or linguine con frutti di mare with mussels, clams, squid and shrimp served in a white wine or red tomato sauce. You’ll feel right at home in the intimate dining room. Traditional dishes like chicken Parmigiana and veal Marsala are available, too, but one may also encounter interesting plates such as pollo alla Giancarlo --- sautéed chicken and sausage served with potatoes, mushrooms, vinegar peppers and onions in a tangy vinaigrette sauce. Beer, wine and cordials may complement the meal. Sip Frangelico while noshing on sweets like the light and creamy tiramisu.
