You may know him as the "Pasta King," as many locals do, but the owner and namesake of Art's Place will also answer to Art Ibleto. He's been part of the local culinary scene for four decades, not only as a restaurateur, but also as a donor to many area organizations. Not far from Crossbrook, you can taste the classic Italian cuisine that has earned Art the title of Pasta King.

At Art's Place, the menu focuses on wood-oven-fired pizzas, gourmet paninis, burgers, and, of course, pasta. Start with a basket of the popular blue cheese fries (or opt for parmesan truffle instead), then move on to one of the crispy, thin-crust pizzas. They come topped with ingredients such as chipotle chicken, Canadian bacon, or Italian sausage. You can also dig into hearty pasta entrees like ravioli, gourmet mac and cheese with an artisan smoked gouda (plus a mix of other cheeses), and penne topped with grilled chicken. What's your favorite dish at Art's Place?
