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 Con Rappini

Pollo Con Rappini at Piccolo's on Shrewsbury Street

Restaurant: Piccolo’s, Shrewsbury Street

As it appears in the menu: Sauteed chicken, broccoli, roasted garlic, a little red chile, extra virgin olive oil with linguine (added Clem’s sausage as recommended by the server).

The Facts: Generous portion of spaghetti, chicken, crumbled sausage and broccoli served with a light olive oil sauce. At least two meals worth.

Foodie’s Review: It truly tastes like a homemade meal—only better (sorry, dear!. Simple, fresh ingredients, very well prepared. The recommended addition of spicy sausage added just the right flavor and consistency. Looking forward to tomorrow’s left overs.
