Cafe Gianni Rigatoni Bolognese Price

Cafe Gianni’s Rigatoni Bolognese is a popular menu item featuring a traditional meat sauce served over tube-shaped pasta. The kitchen prepares the ragu using 100% beef, simmering the ground meat with tomatoes and aromatics. The cooking method for the pasta achieves an al dente texture, offering a firm bite that stands up to the weight of the beef mixture. The price for the Rigatoni Bolognese pasta on Café Gianni’s menu ranges from $14.95 to $18.50.

This pasta entree competes with the Rigatoni "D" at Maggiano's Little Italy which utilizes a similar tube pasta but includes chicken, mushrooms, and marsala in the sauce. The Cafe Gianni interpretation adheres to a strict beef formulation without the addition of cream or other proteins. Customers combine the main course with desserts such as the Cannoli filled with sweet ricotta, the Chocolate Cake frosted with house chocolate buttercream, or the Tiramisu layered with ladyfinger biscuits and mascarpone. Cafe Gianni Rigatoni Bolognese reviews note the hearty nature of the 100% beef sauce and the absence of filler ingredients. Guests mention the al dente preparation of the rigatoni provides a satisfying texture that prevents the dish from becoming mushy. The sauce-to-pasta ratio ensures every bite contains seasoned meat.

Cafe Gianni operates under the guidance of Chef Gianni who trained in Ascoli Piceno, Italy. The chef learned the fundamentals of sauce making from his mother, Giovanna, in the village of Comunanza. The kitchen executes recipes influenced by the chef's work in Como, Tuscany, London, New York, and Boston. The bolognese recipe reflects the traditional meat-centric sauces found in the Marche region where the chef originated. The establishment serves as the settled home for the family after years of international travel. The menu aims to deliver authentic Italian flavors through scratch-made sauces prepared daily.
