Larry Tessier Pasquale ’ s Italian cuisine can be found at virtually every turn . However , classic recipes honed by a family ’ s elder and followed in a restaurant kitchen are more rare . Larry sees to it that time honoured recipes and methods of Pasquale ’ s late matriarch Sera Loschiavo are followed and dishes represent traditions held in Italian homes . Featured cannelloni and meatballs are go-to comfort dishes equally perfect for week night dining and special occasions .
