It’s situated in the former location of the Tin Can, and
Pssghetti’s Ready to Go’s cozy atmosphere is the perfect
place for hungry shoppers and college students to pick up a quick
bite to eat on their way to their next shopping adventure or to
class.
Pssghetti’s Ready to Go will be serving breakfast, lunch
and dinner from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. The menu will include spaghetti
and meatballs, lasagna and chicken piccata. They will feature
different meatballs throughout the week. They will also be serving
breakfast sandwiches and offer a special coffee deal called “The
Poor Man’s Coffee.” Every cup of decaf, regular and
the flavor of the day will be $1.
Grace Howe, the manager of the new Psghetti’s Ready to Go,
is excited about the new take-out location, which will complement
its parent restaurant in Blowing Rock.
“Come in and take the food you want,” she said, referring
to the new Boone shop. “All the food will be prepared and
packaged in Blowing Rock.”
The food will be prepared by Pssghetti’s restaurant’s
well-recognized kitchen staff, led by Jordan Allen, executive
chief.
“He’s an amazing chef,” Howe said.
There is no seating available at the Boone location, so customers
are encouraged to come pick out their meal and enjoy the great
outdoors of Boone’s downtown.
“We have a microwave available here, where they can heat
up their food, or they can take it home,” Howe said.
In addition to its mainstays, Pssghetti’s Ready to Go will
be offering Italian gelato, sorbet and hand-dipped ice cream.
“We will offer three flavors of sorbet, three flavors of
ice cream and three flavors of gelato,” Howe said. “We
plan on switching them out regularly.”
Pssghetti’s Ready to Go will not be serving the restaurant’s
full menu, but will offer a wide variety of Italian cuisine to
choose from.
As the days slowly grow longer, the streets of downtown Boone
will be crowded with locals and visitors enjoying the beautiful
scenery of King Street. Why not stop in to grab some ice cream
or Italian gelato on a beautiful spring day?
If a sit-down dinner sounds more appealing, Pssghetti’s full-service
restaurant is just a quick drive down highway U.S. 321 in Blowing
Rock. Offering fine wines and scrumptious Italian cuisine, Pssghetti’s
must be on the list for a weekend treat. Their pasta is homemade
in their pasta room. Prices range from $7 to $22.
