The Unusual Usual

To eat, try a dish that is a staple of the area like the wild sausage sampler with wild boar, rattlesnake, elk, rabbit sausages, chili sauce and horseradish. Other local favorites are venison chili topped with cheese, green onions and sour cream and buffalo short ribs basted with Guinness beer and served with a barbecue cranberry sauce. Live music is on the weekends here to enjoy. A good thing is that you won't miss an important email, as there is free Wi-Fi throughout the restaurant.

Besides pizzas, Cuginos serves up strombolis and calzones with such fillings as steak, shrimp, veggies and spinach. If it's homemade pasta you want, try the eggplant florentine, baked penne and spicy sausage, portabella mushroom ravioli, or the Godfather with mussels, calamari, clams and shrimp in a white wine sauce, served with linguini and pesto sauce.
