Each restaurant will be featuring their pasta creation on their menu from October 5-29, 2017.

How Does this all Work? For the public challenge, you are invited to go out and order any or all of the pasta creations in this challenge, then you decide who you think has the best pasta creation for the People’s Choice award winners.
