    ...great ravioli. I recommend the simplicity of the cheese/spinach/mint variiety.

    A 'City' channel note: Kudos to Gondola for completing a great exterior painting project. Also, from Gondola south on the same side of the street, and properties on the west side of Niagara closer to Amherst, and Fasos above Hertel---the colorful flower pots and landscaped yards have made a tremendous positive impact to the street. Everyone else join in!

    ive loved all the gondola stuff since coming to bflo, and i a aways happy to use a local product!

    one suggestion on the storefront, a small investment (ie, cloth awnings, old world signage, getting rid of the 70's faux stone and getting a traditional storefront) would pay off in attracting more business. Packaging the product, as they say, is unfortunatly more importatnt than the products themselves.

    Next on my list is the lobster ravioli. the butter saffron idea sounds good. maybe a pink sause? hmmm. what to do, what to do? that inspires me, recipe contest!

    This makes my mouth water. Say, are these the guys that are at the Bidwell Market every Saturday?

    AppleJack, no - you're thinking of the Pasta Peddler... equally delicious!!! You can find their pasta @ Premier Gourmet as well as the Farmer's Market - I think they're out of Angola? (I could be wrong...)

    al-alo, let us know if you come up with a nice pink sauce for your lobster ravioli. A contest sounds like a great idea, especially if I get to be a judge! UrbanBody, I couldn't agree more about the lovely potted flowers and landscaping on Niagara. AppleJack and wendupiter, glad to see there are other lovers of all things pasta. I believe you can purchase Gondola products at Guercio's as well as their Niagara Street location.

    Good read! I've also noticed their products for sale at Scime's (Delaware between Hertel and Kenmore).

    I should check it out - NIagara looks like it could use some TLC though

    al-alo and AdamFix, thanks for the info. NBJOHN, I guess your (and my) pasta dollars are a good way to start showing some love!

    Gondola Ravioli with Guercio's sauce (I like the eggplant one best) is a perfect match.
