The Italians know how to do the holidays up right, so why not let this great Italian deli do the heavy prep work while you focus on the cocktail chit chat?
Shop at Moccia's Little Italy outpost for their decadent lasagna ($12/$28), or online with the handy fresh sheet.
We ordered the beautiful Cappone Roll, a boneless roasting chicken stuffed with Italian sausage and veal loin garnished with rosemary stalks and pre-trussed ($37). Pop in the oven and voilà–New Year's dinner for 10.
Or whet appetites at your holiday open house with crunchy-and-gooey Risotto Balls ($6.99 for 8) made with fresh provolone and sweet Italian sausage.
Now you really are one clever little elf.
