Torinos’ is owned by Maxime and Daniela Bouneou (a husband-and-wife team from Nice, France, and Torino, Italy, respectively), and their Northern Italian restaurant is the next best thing to a plane ticket to Occitania’s northeast corner. Everything is made from scratch, and ingredients are sourced as locally as possible. The
pappardelle all’Amatriciana
— fresh, house-made wide linguine tossed in a light tomato sauce with pecorino
,
chile, olives and
guanciale
bacon
—
is a glorious bowl of pasta. In the guilty pleasures department, the foie gras would satisfy the itch of the most jaded addicts. Don’t pass up the
spezzatino,
a slowly braised beef brisket served with seared polenta cubes. There’s also half-melted mallard duck confit served with cranberry rhubarb compote. Drop in for à la carte breakfast and lunch, or book a table for dinner service—a $36, six-course set menu. Vegetarians and other food restrictions can be accommodated, Maxime says, but it’s best if they call ahead. “Then we can make something special.” (Alibi Staff, February 2, 2011) Add a Review True SushiMonday - Thursday 11:00am-9:30pm; Friday 11:00am-11:00pm; Saturday 12:00pm-11:00pm; Sunday 12:00pm-9:30pm (subject to change)
Occupying the same space that Japengo once inhabited, True Sushi bears a strong resemblance to its predecessor. The art is the same, and the sushi chefs still watch sports, but this one is actually a branch on the Sushi King family tree. Much of the sushi is on the heavy side, like the “iron monkey roll”—a deep-fried spicy tuna roll topped with baked scallop, crawfish and fish eggs, underneath a mop of bonito shavings. It's tasty, and your date would probably be impressed by your menu prowess if you order one. (Alibi Staff, February 13, 2012) Add a Review If you like chicken-fried steak, then you owe it to your belly to eat at Vic’s. A chef friend of ours turned us on to Vic’s, where the “Big Daddy” is a giant buttermilk-battered steak that will make your eyes light up and your stomach say “howdy.” Seriously, some of the best we’ve ever had. The rest of the menu is classic diner fare (meat loaf, liver and onions) with a large selection of sandwiches, New Mexican and Greek dishes. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) View/Add Reviews [ 1 ] Weck’s, oh Weck’s, what would we do without your bottomless drinks, your enormous coffee cakes and your sausage and bacon gravy? How we long to return for another “bowl o’ stuff” filled with hashbrowns, carne adovada, red chile and an over-easy egg. How we dream at night of your belly-bustin’ biscuits and gravy for breakfast and lunch. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) View/Add Reviews [ 4 ] |
