 This is an update of my March 12, 2017 post on this restaurant

I visited this restaurant during my brother-in-law's Birthday Mystery Tour.   The three of us went to the

The Museum is excellent.  All three of us love baseball so it was especially interesting to us.  Brought back a lot of memories from our youth.

After we had lunch at Alessia's.  There menu has been expanded.  They also have a changed in hours.

We started with warm bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar dipping sauce…wonderful.

Jeanne ordered the Half Pasta – Half Salad  -  Insalata Gorgonzola which was fresh and looked delicious…lot of bacon on top – Half Pasta  - two meatballs with penne pasta.

 Willie ordered the Half Pasta – Half Salad – Insalata Caesar – Lasagna.  His salad was also just beautiful.  His lasagna was excellent.  Not served like a lasagna everyone would recognize.

I ordered the Stangola….sausage, onions, mushrooms, paprika and parmesan….I chose risotto instead of pasta…delicious!

Dessert:  Limoncello Mascarpone Cream Cake – it was light and delicious (we had toyed with the ides of going to Pacino’s for their Limoncello Cake…but this one was very good.  I have to go back eight more times to some of the other desserts that look beautiful.
