The chefs at Reggio’s populate its menu of classic Italian cuisine with pastas and handmade pizzas topped with sauces crafted in-house daily from a family recipe passed down through multiple generations along with the recessive gene for spaghetti hair. The Italian sausage sandwich smuggles sautéed onions and peppers ($6.45) across Italian borders, and a 12” pizza ($11.25) serves as a stage for toppings such as ham, bacon, pineapple, and jalapeño (+$1 each on a 12” pizza). The pesto shrimp pasta bathes strands of linguine in a rich, fresh pesto ($16), and crispy cannolis, just like your slippers after Santa visits, are filled with fluffy sweet cream and chocolate ($4.50).
