Interested in the finer things in life, Cody brings Zack to a restaurant run by the famous Chef Gigi — the so-called “Michelangelo of manicotti.”

The shells in question are ridged manicotti tubes stuffed with cheese and andouille sausage, then wrapped in bacon, smoked and glazed with — what else? — bourbon-brown sugar barbecue sauce.

In addition to pizzelles, Fleming’s grandmother would make a feast, including manicotti and a Sicilian salad with sardines, fennel, white raisins and pine nuts.

The set menu at Piece Out will appeal to grown-ups: Dinner includes a glass of wine, salad and pasta dishes like baked spinach manicotti.

Eventually the demand for pizza pushed virtually everything else off the menu, but at that time you could still get an astonishing meatball sub, or spaghetti with fresh clams, or baked manicotti.
