Viva La Pasta Restaurant Fundraiser
Now through December 31st
Restaurant owners of Viva La Pasta in Simi Valley, Tino and Maria Divito, have witnessed many people in the neighborhood fall victim to cancer. “Dear friends, dear clients, and close family have died fighting this terrible disease,” says Maria. To join in that fight, Viva La Pasta will donate proceeds from its Seafood Risotto to Cancer Support Community Valley/Ventura/Santa Barbara. Made with New Zealand mussels, clams, shrimp, and scallops in a zafferano (saffron) sauce and served over traditional Arborio rice, the dish is one of the restaurant’s bestsellers.
