Carrir Cerino's was always a treat when I was young. I still compare all other spaghetti and meatballs to Carrie's. It was not until I was older and a little more adventurous that I tried the carbonera with the blue egg, just about did me in for any other pasta dishes. I was spoiled enough to always ask for a Carrie Cerino's cake for every birthday . . . I wish I could get one sent to me in CA.
