Veal Piccata from Le Mirage on June Street in Worcester

The menu at Le Mirage presented me with a dilemma. It divides fairly evenly between Middle Eastern and Italian items, and I love them both. Most at my table, however, chose the Middle Eastern route. So I, to paraphrase Robert Frost, took the road less traveled by.  I chose Italian, the Veal Piccata. My $19 entrée featured two sautéed veal filets in a lemon butter wine sauce, served over a generous bed of penne pasta. The veal was melt-in-your-mouth tender; the pasta was perfectly al dente, and the sauce was a delicate complement to both. The portion was ample, but I ate every bite. Le Mirage is BYOB, so you might want to check the menu on-line in advance of buying your wine or beer.  The comments from my fellow dining companions were as enthusiastic as my own.  So, unlike Robert Frost, I do not doubt if I should ever come back to this particular culinary fork in the road again.  The Italian path was too good not to go back to Le Mirage and try the Middle Eastern. -JD
