The Inn's sturdy soups and ample salads are a good place to start. And for a more substantial meal choose trom such entrees (89 to $)2) as Eggplant Parmigiana, Pasta Primavera, Chicken Primavera, Marinated Chicken, Chicken Caesar Salad, Manicotti, Artichoke Hearts. They come with a choice of soup or salad. A sampled Tomato and Penne soup pro- vided a thick opener for a platter of Inn Cogneato Spicy Potatoes. The soup was filled with pasta, garbanzo beans and a viscous tomato stock that was a little too viscous for my tastes. But those Spicy Potatoes are an inspired inn Cogneato original. Take a mess of grilled Russet potatocs. Stir-fry them with garlic, onions, red and green bell peppers, chopped mushrooms, some olive oil and a liberal sprinkling of cayenne pepper. Top with cheddar, moz- zarella and parmesan cheeses, bake the whole works in the Inn Cogneato ovens and you have one spicy rib-sticking entree. Wash it down with some chilled white wine.
