The dinner coordinator at Zia's suggested choosing a menu of 12-14 items.  We tried to provide a wide range of options for people, but we did make a few blanket cuts (veal is expensive and we decided to save our Northeastern friends from Midwestern seafood).  I'm considering taking the time to make it pretty and printing our own menu, but Zia's will also do it, so it will likely come down to whether I have time.  If you want a suggestion, the Mostaccioli is our favorite!
