Da Mario used to have a really really awesome crab meat angel hair pasta that was cooked more like a vongole with shallots and wine, but they've changed it to this one, which is penne pasta in a pink (tomato-cream) sauce. This version is also very good, though the vongole version remains my favourite. Da Mario's pink sauce was both tangy and creamy, which is great because the tanginess of the tomato is often masked by the rich cream, and very flavourful without being overwhelming. I felt that the vodka in the sauce also gave it depth. The crab meat was fresh and sweet, and portions were generous in true Italian fashion. Do try!
