Sogni Dorati, 660 N. Wells, 337-6500.

By the end of this year Americans will consume close to 3
billion pounds of pasta. I don't know how that works out per capita,
but I do know that I will play an important role in contributing to
that figure.
The pleasure of pasta lies in its versatility. I can't think of
another food that works as well, adapts as easily and goes with as
many other foods. Can you name another food that has as many
different shapes as pasta? (The latest shape I've seen is radiatore
or radiator, which looks like a miniature radiator with honeycomb
openings for picking up the sauce.)
