Gino's Focacceria
The vastedda special ($5) — stuffed with cow spleen, clouds of ricotta, and grated parmesan — was certainly filling, and the textures hovered somewhere between engaging and perturbing, but it was dry, dry, dry. Not especially salty, just dry, which seems to be the nature of the beast. Glad I had a 16-oz. soda close at hand.

Well lets see... I spent every single weekend for a year in Gino's which gave me a chance to try a little bit of everything and no matter what it was everything was good... from the Seafood salad to the Penne ala vodka, panelli, riceballs, EVERYTHIN!
