Ravioli in Spinach Cream Sauce

A generous helping of large, fresh ravioli swimming in a thick, well-blended spinach cream sauce. (I loved the sauce so much I was tempted to eat it by the spoonful.) I recommend pairing this dish with the Italian Antipasto Salad for a more balanced and varied meal. (The fresh prosciutto, soppreseta, mozzarella, tomatoes, roasted red peppers and basil are a delicious complement to the hot pasta plate and all but ensure that you’ll have enough for a hearty second meal (unless, of course, you sop up much of the sauce with the bread at your table – a temptation that is hard to resist). Mangiare abbondante! -JJ

Filetto Al Pepe Nero

Filetto Al Pepe Nero available at Piccolo's on Shrewsbury Street.

Restaurant: Piccolo’s, Shrewsbury Street

As it appears in the menu: Two grilled filet mignon medallions, cracked black pepper, caramelized onions, Gorgonzola cream served over a bountiful amount of linguine pasta topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and cracked pepper.

Foodie’s Review: Beautiful presentation! Steak was cooked perfectly and had perfect grill markings, to top it off the aroma was intoxicating. The plate was garnished with fresh chives and parsley and complimented by the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and pepper. The steak was prepared a true medium rare, as requested, and the pasta was filled with caramelized onions and a rich, salty Gorgonzola sauce. The most difficult part of this dish was to keeping the others away from trying to have a taste.
