La Finestra is one of our favorite local restaurants. I had, like I often do, the penne with Italian sausage. It’s so flavorful and tasty with just the right amount of spiciness. Portions are big, like all of their dishes. All three of us started with a yummy New England style clam chowder (daily special), and finished with freshly made cannoli and tiramisu, plus their complimentary biscotti and masala wine. Service is always top notch. Brought a bottle of wine to take advantage of the free corkage on Tuesdays!
