Oompa! This is the word that comes to mind when I envision the cuisine I devoured at Zorba’s Taverna Restaurant and Bar! After scanning the extensive menu, I narrowed my choices down to 5. After difficult deliberation I finally decided on Zorba’s Chicken. The ingredients on their own sounded divine, but when served upon a moderate-sized rectangle of puff pastry (flaky and delicious) and topped with a light cream sauce, I was in Heaven! The chicken breast was small but seared nicely with a thin crispy crust, and moist, tender meat. It was placed rather stoically atop a heaping mound of perfectly wilted spinach, mushrooms, and sliced thin spicy Greek sausage – the pairing of flavors complimented by the thyme cream sauce was spectacular. The sauce was flavorful and surprisingly very light. I used the puff pastry to soak up what little sauce was left on my plate. I would order this dish again in a heartbeat. -AV
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
