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.

Salmon Due Modi

Restaurant: Piccolo’s, Shrewsbury Street

As it appears in the menu: Grilled Atlantic Salmon fillet, fettuccine tossed with smoked salmon, spinach, with a little Cooper’s Farm cream and sun-dried tomato.

The Facts: A beautiful dish enough for two! The salmon placed on top of a bed of Al Dente fettuccine, blended with the sun dried tomatoes and finished with parsley sprinkled artistically around a large 12″ plate.

Foodie’s Review: Great taste of grilled salmon to perfection with a nice creamy pasta and a subtle taste of dried sun ripe tomatoes. I truly enjoyed this dish and the service was absolutely perfect. A gem here in Worcester with an atmosphere that will move you.
