Questions about a pasta restaurant menu
Should pasta be a starter or a main?
In Italy it's a first course before meat or fish. Many guests elsewhere order it as their main, so make the portion big enough.
How many pastas should I offer?
Five or six, with at least one vegetarian. Each shape needs its own prep, so more slows the kitchen.
Should I say the pasta is fresh or dried?
If it's made in house, yes. Dried pasta isn't worse, so you don't need to hide it.
