Gamberi Julianna

Gamberi Julianna available at Piccolo's on Shrewsbury Street.

Restaurant: Piccolo’s, Shrewsbury Street

As it appears in the menu: Sautéed jumbo shrimp, baby spinach, maccheroni, roasted garlic, cracked black peppercorns and pink vodka sauce.

Foodie’s Review: Ingredients were fresh and flavors balanced. Garlic and black peppercorn did not overpower. Although a little light on the spinach, the spiraling maccheroni pasta appeared perfectly blush beneath the not-to-thick, not-to-heavy pink vodka sauce. After consuming a hearty portion, I knew, as I lay down my fork, that I would have just enough for lunch tomorrow.

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.
