Strip down a pasta dish and see that the make-or-break aspect of each plate is their noods. Patrizi’s is proof of the power of fresh noodles in Italian dishes, having expanded from a solo food truck on Manor Road to a second location, a brick-and-mortar, in the Cuernavaca neighborhood. Heritage sauces coat the monstrously large meatballs and pastas to bring a taste of Rome to the Lone Star State.
Finalists: Intero, L’Oca d’Oro, Mandola’s, Red Ash Italia
