Anna Dolce, an upscale modern Italian eatery, opening in West Glen

If a classic plate of spaghetti drenched in a robust red sauce and dotted with meatballs sounds like your idea of a perfect meal, new restaurant Anna Dolce might be the spot for you. Tentatively scheduled for an April 19 opening in the former Blu Toro Cantina & Grill in West Glen Town Center, Anna Dolce will be serving updated Italian American classics, like the previously mentioned spaghetti and meatballs. “Believe it or not, that’s one of the menu items I’m most excited about,” said Joe McConville, co-owner and head chef at Anna Dolce. “Nothing’s too contemporary. It’s just kind of updating and modernizing the classics.”

Retro school cookbook recipes showcase future Des Moines dining pros

A 1986 cookbook recipe from St. Anthony Catholic School in southside Des Moines offers an early glimpse of the culinary ambitions of a pair of students who have gone on to become metro dining entrepreneurs. A Collection of Favorite Recipes from the students includes contributions from Tony Lemmo, who is now owner of Aposto at The Scala House in Sherman Hill, and Emily Gross, who along with her sister Andrea Williams operates catering service Taste to Go and its signature event space, Curate, in the East Village. Tom Sacco of Des Moines discovered the cookbook in a pile at a St. Vincent de Paul thrift store. Sacco said he looked through the book because he had previously coached track and field at the school and wanted to see if there were any familiar names. After recognizing the names of local dining professionals, Sacco said he d thought he d share the story with others, including the Des Moines Register.
