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.
