Round 2-The Money Makers-"Entree's and Pasta's"

Alright. We are jumping right into the Entree's and Pasta's. These items are the meat and potatoes of Mario's Osteria's menu. There is a lot of them, so please try and follow Sande's rule of being able to sell several menu items for each section. You should know these items from top to bottom. Also try to focus on our signature items like the Chicken Scarpiello, as well as items that you like and are personal to you. Now get your Bobby Flay going'!

1. Chicken Scarpiello- "Signature dish since 1985"- your choice of on the bone or boneless breast. It has a white wine sauce, with pepperocini, broken cherry peppers, roasted peppers, calamata olives, Sicilian olives, artichokes, and a pasta Scarpiello sauce.

2. Veal Chop Milanese- Bone in Veal Chop, breaded and fried, then served with an Arugula Insalata Mista. ( Remember that the Veal Scaloppini Milanese doesn't have the bone, and is a smaller portion, so if they order the Scaloppini Milanese, suggest the "Chop" instead)
