All entrees at DiBenedetto's are made to order. For starters, try an appetizer such as steamed mussels, prepared with your choice of garlic and white wine or marinara, tomato and basil. For the main course, consider the steak gorgonzola, consisting of tender steak medallions topped with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions and a creamy gorgonzola sauce. Partake in an-after dinner drink in the lounge, which is open until 1 a.m. on weekends. DiBenedetto's closes all day Sunday and for lunch on Saturday.
Cucina di Betto

Each meal at Cucina di Betto is individually prepared; while you wait, relax with a fine wine, draft beer or cocktail from the full bar. Pasta lovers will appreciate the eight choices of sauce, such as alfredo, vodka, sundried tomato pesto and red or white clam sauce. House specialties include the portabella mushroom ravioli smothered in a creamy red wine sauce and sprinkled with capers.

Pizza

The remaining Italian restaurants in Bowling Green are all chain pizzerias. The smallest of these chains, Pisanello's, is still family-owned and operated. Diners can order pizzas in five sizes, from the seven-inch mini to the 16-inch extra large. Pisanello's also offers entrée salads, subs and chocolate-covered cheesecake. At Marco's Pizza, delve into the rich, cheesy meatball-and-sausage platter or nosh on regular or boneless chicken wings.
