Maisano's Italian Restaurant
Maisano's Italian Restaurant truly is a local favorite. Start your meal off with a bowl of minestrone or some of Maisano's "Old World" Baked Tuscan Onion Soup before diving into their Maisano Trio -- a combination of lasagna, cannelloni and pasta with meat sauce. Maisano's also provides its guests with a "Bambino's Menu" for the kids -- complete with ravioli, spaghetti with meatballs, fettuccini alfredo and even chicken tenders and fries for those picky eaters. Adults who don't care for traditional pasta can try their hand at one of the veal or pollo dishes, though no one should leave without indulging in either a cannoli or a bite of tiramisu.
