Vienna Cafe (Melrose)

Pasta Italiana($9.50) Bowtie pasta with prosciutto, wild mushrooms and a tomato sage cream sauce. Very delicious! I love the sauce, so flavorful and creamy. This place is more known for breakfast/brunch but I always get their pasta dishes (there’re only 3-4 on the menu) and they’re always more tasty than I expect. VeggiEx ($8.50) Sunny […]
