Macaroni Rosa

So, this entry is a few days late, but whatever. I am avoiding the gift wrap mess that is behind me at the table.

Last Wednesday, we went to Buca di Beppo for my father-in-law's 71st birthday. I was so excited to go there because I was really looking forward to Macaroni Rosa. So we get there and we decide we are going to order three smalls. (For those of you who have never been there, the food is served family style, so you share with those at your table. That way everyone doesn't have to order their own. (And I really shouldn't have to explain that because as far as I know, everyone who reads my blog either lives here, and has probably been there, or we have taken them to eat there. But just in case.))

Right away, without discussion, we decide that we want to have Macaroni Rosa. And we search through the menu for it (this one had actual menus...it was strange.) But, alas, it wasn't there.

Turns out, this has been discontinued. I was downhearted (and consequently playing the PRG song as I type this). So we ordered other things. They were good, but I was bummed out about the Macaroni Rosa.

So if anyone knows the Macaroni Rosa and finds something similar on the menu, please let me know, so I won't have to miss the Macaroni Rosa anymore.

P.S. If you are still scratching your head trying to figure out the PRG thing, I'll tell you. It's Primitive Radio Gods: Standing Outside a Broken Phonebooth with Money in My Hand. Remember that song?
