Welcoming and home-cooked, the osso bucco generously filled out an ample dinner plate. The veal pot roast, literally falling off the bones and dotted with porcinis and carrots, offered earthy goodness. Al dente green beans and a few fat roasted red potatoes completed the classic trattoria dinner. Every bit the equal to my veal in terms of Italian comfort cookery, Jack's platter of absolutely perfectly cooked rigatoni glistened in marinara and sensuous bits of eggplant. Tomatoey and friendly, this dish added to the super comfort food legend of this reliable community trattoria.
Desserts absolutely rule here.
Italian pop diva Mina was belting out something about life and love as we finished up every trace of our tart and custard. The waiters are delightful. A tiny beach cottage radiates warmth and pleasant vibes.
