Scalini's Italian Restaurant is known for its garlic rolls. The rolls, sitting in a bowl of melted butter, are topped with lots and lots of fresh garlic. The rolls and salad are unlimited. The entrees are pretty good too! And, if you are pregnant and ready to deliver, Scalini's eggplant parmesan allegedly induces labor.
