In a city often known for brutal winter weather, we like to enjoy our summer weather while we can. One of the true summer joys in Worcester is dining outside at one of the great sidewalk cafes, patios or outdoor bars in the city. Meals always taste better al fresco and drinks always quench your thirst better in the open air. The Worcester dining scene is ripe with places to wine and dine while enjoying the best of what summer has to offer and, in true, lazy-days-of-summer style, we are making it as easy a possible for you to find great places in the city to eat outside!

Lobster Gnocchi

With the warmer weather in full gear, we are able to familiarize ourselves with the sounds, sights, and flavors of the summer season. This includes mixing traditional Italian flavors with something all of us from New England love: lobster. At Via on Shrewsbury Street their Lobster Gnocchi fits the bill. With it’s overly plump gnocchi dumplings and large lobster claw meat the dish will satisfy both your hunger along with your hunger for summer. The texture of the lobster is stark contrast with the fluffy texture of the gnocchi dumplings. Although the nature of gnocchi is an overall bland flavor the sauce, Parmesan cheese and lobster mask to the sometimes-absorptive characteristics of the pasta.
