Donacesca Ristorante Italiano,

26 South Bolton Street, Marlborough, (508) 460-6778.

There's something for every preference, from pasta dishes for budget-minded diners to heart-friendly items for those watching their cholesterol. And plenty of red sauce, cream sauce, and mozzarella cheese for those crave southern Italian fare. Mare e monti, an assortment of shrimp, scallops, clams, and mussels in white wine and garlic sauce over linguine was delightful; chicken Abruzzi was very tasty " tender chunks of white meat and sun dried tomatoes in a tomato cream sauce served over penne. Go on a Saturday night for a memorable dining experience that includes a singing waiter who'd make Dean Martin proud.
