Stroll into an authentic Italian restaurant without jumping on a plane by going to Sonny's Pizza & Pasta -- it's not to be missed. The focal point of the dining room is a wall mural of an Italian scene where on Wednesdays you can experience traditional music on accordion. Top-shelf products, many imported from Italy, are combined with fresh herbs to create fabulous sauces. All bread and pizza dough is made fresh daily. Catering is available for any event, and owner-chef Jim Grandjean enjoys preparing items like herb-stuffed mushrooms, polenta squares, and salmon or cream-stuffed puffs.
