ONEONTA – Stella Luna's Bucatini all'Amatriciana may be the ultimate in comfort food.

Tony and Vinne Avanzato began serving the pasta dish, famous in Amatrice, Italy, as a fundraiser after the Aug. 24 earthquake that devastated the town.  "Our friends over there told us there were foundations we could donate to, but they would take 20-30 percent," said Tony.  "I said, 'Not gonna happen!'
