Answer: PISTOL FOR A HUNDRED COFFINS
Problem: Thanksgiving Town/​New Year’s Town

The “Primi” part of the menu is a series of “anguished” soundalikes for Italian phrases. The “prices” indicate both the number of words and the number of letters in the Italian phrase. Once those phrases are determined, some elementary Googling will show they are actually names of “spaghetti westerns,” Italian-made films about cowboys in the American West.

Each film has an English title as well, and each of those titles matches one of the dishes in the “Secondi” section of the menu in terms of word lengths. When those menu items are matched up with the English titles, they share some letters in common.

Those letters (in the order of the “Secondi” section) spell out Una pistola per cento bare, which is the Italian name for another spaghetti western. The answer is the English title, or PISTOL FOR A HUNDRED COFFINS.
