Description

Don"t be fooled by the oversize Nunzio"s Ristorante sign adorning the strip mall tower as this restaurant is out of place in a cookie-cutter environment. The interior is more in tune with Nunzio"s identity. It"s a family-owned, community restaurant in the classic Italian-American tradition. Italy and Catholicism are prevalent in the restaurant, just as you"d expect. The food is similarly straightforward. The pizza, while not gourmet, is prepared with generous amounts of mozzarella and tomato sauce. The Godfather pizza (large $19.50) is not for the coronary-challenged; it includes five different meats (ground beef, meatballs, sausage, ham, and pepperoni). The Sicilian pizza ($18) is even heavier and takes a good 45 minutes to prepare, which will give you time to work up an appetite (you"ll need it). They have all the standard baked entrées and others that you hardly see these days, including manicotti ($12.25), cannelloni ($12.25), and gnocchi ($12.75).
