Rigatoni is one of my favorites. Cugini’s rigatoni ala cabrese is delicious. The pasta is cooked perfectly. The sauce is sweet. The sausage has all the good spices. Today I tried the ravioli in creamy pesto. It was so rich and so tasty. My husband can not eat gluten or dairy. Not a big deal but I love pasta. When I get a craving for all that good gluten and dairy, Cugini’s has me covered.

We were driving by and decided to take a chance and stop for dinner. And we are glad we did. The food was delicious and the service was great. We look forward to dining there again.
