Italian Dining Near Gladstone

Gladstone residents have gotten sharp about spotting the real thing, noticing whether the garlic bread comes from a fresh loaf or a frozen box and whether the pasta hits that proper al dente bite. That is the standard our kitchen was built for. Founders Giovanni and Rosina DeNicola brought their recipes from Italy, and everything from the marinara to the ravioli is made in house.
