A bargain Wednesday
I got this enthusiastic e-mail from Faithful Reader Dawn. It sounded legit to me and not like she's the Pazza Luna sous chef, so I thought I would pass it along. Also I liked the way she got a three-course meal out of it.
People have told me about specials and deals on this blog before, but not usually in this detail. Thanks, Dawn:

I wanted to contact you to let you know that we made a trek down to the new Pazza Luna last night for dinner, and it was not only excellent, but also such a bargain! I could have sworn that I read on your blog about the $10 Pasta Wednesday, but could not locate it in my search. Anyway, we timed our meeting at the restaurant perfectly after work, as that allowed us to take advantage of the happy hour specials and menu, and then stay on for the $10 pasta.
The happy hour offers ½ price wine by the glass, $2 domestics, and $3 imports. But, even more importantly, they have about 12 small plates that are available for $4.50 each, including eggplant rotini and the most delicious vegetable pizza I have had in a long time. Oh, and we were a little sneaky and ordered one of the small plates as our dessert and just held onto it for after dinner. It was triangles of grilled ciabatta smeared with Nutella and served with a small bowl of sea salt to sprinkle (heavily if you are like me) on top; such a great mixture of the salty and sweet.
Anyway, just thought that you might want to know, especially since not only do I love food (and wine for that matter), but I especially love a bargain!! A huge dinner for two, with 2 glasses of wine apiece, and 3 appetizers (gluttons!) for about $50, is a bargain indeed.

I ate there years ago and ventured back this weekend with some friends. We had a great time (we were there for 4 hours!!) and the prices were much better than I remember. However, the food was nothing to get excited about. I don't know that we will be running back for anything that we ate but since service and everything else was so nice maybe we will give it another chance.
