This local gem offers no nonsense Italian food like hefty portions of Chicken Parm and Ziti, Tortellini Alfredo or Veal Marsala with linguini!  Cafe Port Bello also delivers!

Although we don’t recommend eating pancakes before you run the marathon.  We do recommend eating them cheer on the runners.  Order up a stack of buttermilk flapjacks at The Paramount – don’t forget the side of bacon!  Their caramel banana french toast is also amazing! Wash it down with the Creamsicle Milkshake!
