Pronto Cucinino

For a quick Italian bite:

we went to Pronto Cucinino.  If you are a fan of Nino's, you can definitely appreciate coming to Pronto.

I tried to turn the picture couple of times, but it didn't work... despite that, you can still see the food, so here it is: Rigatoni Pomodoro with Italian Sausage added.   There is a surcharge for adding the sausage, but it's totally worth it.  You can also get the Rigatoni Rustica, which is essentially the same with eggplant.

My friend and I split a Tiramisu, being in a pinch, this will definitely do the trick.  Not too heavy, and not too sweet.  Just nice and balanced.  You can find that in the to-go fridge.

This place essentially is a Cafe Express but only Italian food.  You walk in, place your order at the counter.  Grab a seat, they will have their servers bring you the food.  They leave out the to-go box, knowing that not everyone can finish their dish, which is always good for the next day lunch.  If you don't have time to sit down, they have a to-go that you can call ahead and do a curb side pick up.
