Jim Alesci’s Place Offers Winning Quick Bites

Quick Bite: Jim Alesci’s Place

Our advice? Go with a big appetite. Menu item recipes date back from four generations of the Alesci family. There are many quick grab-and-go items like the Muffaletta, the restaurant’s signature sandwich with capicola, ham, provolone, Genoa salami, tomato and housemade olive tapenade on crusty, housemade bread (Be forewarned: It almost always runs out of stock.); varieties of sheet pizza, pepperoni bread and salads. There are also hot, made-from-scratch specials like ravioli, cavatelli, lasagna, pasta with clam sauce, meatballs, sausage and wedding soup. Oh, and there are daily specials, too. Have room for dessert? Grab a cannoli, Amaretto cake, cheesecake or gelato.
