Fazoli’s is bolstering its summer menu with the debut of two new limited-time offerings: the new Three Meat Manicotti and Chicken Alfredo Manicotti.
Available now through September 9th from all participating Fazoli’s locations, both of the new manicotti dishes feature the long, tubular Italian noodles stuffed with an indulgent combination of ingredients. The new Three Meat Manicotti is filled with a rich combo of Fazolis’ classic meat sauce, bacon, Italian sausage, and three types of melted cheeses. On the other hand, the new Chicken Alfredo Manicotti is a hybrid dish that takes another classic Italian recipe – roasted chicken doused in creamy Alfredo sauce – and then adds a trio of melted cheeses and some crispy Parmesan panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
