Ed's Review
Back in old Napoli, where pasta was perfected, and where pizza was invented, and where "Love is king... Here's what they say:" (As sung best by Dean Martin...)
When the moon hits your eye like a big-a pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scusa me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore
Almost all restaurants that serve fish in Italy, a country with about 5,000 miles of coastline, serve a version of pasta allo scoglio. It usually contains any variation of shellfish, depending on local waters and the season, but clams, mussels, shrimp and/or squid are typical.
Today's recipe is brought to you directly from old Napoli via 7th Ave in NYC at Rafele, where chef Raffaele Ronca serves up his delicious version of paccheri allo scoglio. Now that's amore!
Buon Appetito!

I really enjoy the restaurant, so I am looking forward to trying the recipe – but even if the meal comes our well, it will not stop me from going to Rafele
If you can read,and follow directions, the recipe will turnout great!
Please bring the water to a boil first. The pasta and fish usually will take the same amount of time to cook. that way while you cook the pasta the fish won’t over cook.
Good recommendation. I will note it. Grazie.
