"Some of the best pasta at this Wallingford Italian spot is vegetarian—the Forest Floor Frenzy, complete with homemade pappardelle, a fistful of mushrooms, sherry-laced cream, and walnuts for crunch is a perfect example. Tube-shaped noodles in marinara topped with broiled mozzarella and fresh basil is another. And, you can always expect rotating specials sans meat, like gnocchi in roasted cauliflower parmesan sauce. Be sure to add on some fontina-stuffed saffron arancini to start, and don't be afraid of the actual bicycle suspended above you and your side salad." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
