"Around since 1990, this North End restaurant is the type of place where a diner can embark on a six-pound lasagna challenge or a three-pound chicken Parm challenge. Or, perhaps a less painful meal: the after-work three-course special for $30 per person. It includes a garden salad, a choice of one of several pasta entrees, and a mini cannoli, plus a glass of wine. It’s available Monday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m." - Erika Adams, Celina Colby
