Spaghetti alla Bechera

Spaghetti alla Bechera available at Piccolo's
Restaurant: Piccolo’s, Shrewsbury Street

As it appears in the menu: Fresh cut red wine spaghetti, crumbled spicy sausage, mushrooms, plum tomatoes, and roasted garlic.

The Facts: The rich red wine pasta has great color and texture, mixed with small pieces of spicy sausage and mushrooms. Served al dente this was a large portion for  a single person.

Foodie’s Review: Very tasty. The spice level is right up my alley. The sausage is not just spicy but very flavorful with various spices. The subtle earth tones of the mushrooms helps break up the other flavors giving the dish a nice rounded overall flavor that is distinct from the individual flavors.

Pollo Fortunato

Pollo Fortunato available at Piccolo's on Shrewsbury Street

Restaurant: Piccolo’s, Shrewsbury Street

As it appears in the menu: Sauteed chicken, white mushrooms, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, roasted garlic and marsala wine sauce over linguine.

The Facts: As Piccolo’s encourage their dishes as made to order, I substituted the linguine with spicy marinara and gemineli.

Foodie’s Review: Spicy! The tender chicken provides a canvas for the perfect compliment of flavors without competing with each other. It is a large portion, plated appealingly, that will be enjoyed as leftovers.
