Dinner and the theater go hand-in-hand, especially when planning a romantic date, so when choosing your dinner destination for a special afternoon or evening, we’ve found a place that should no doubt be on the list.
Nocello is on top of its game. It’s one of those restaurants where we had a hard time finding something we didn’t want to rave about. First of all, do yourself a favor and make a reservation, and if this is for a special night, let them know it and request an intimate table in the back. Secondly, don’t rush through this meal- get there nice ‘n early-please don’t eat and run. And lastly, take advantage of their special dishes that change daily. Some of the best things we ate were never on the menu in the first place.
We started with the Insalata Nocello ($8.95). Sliced apples, walnuts and gorgonzola cheese with a glass of Italian house red and the Beef Carpaccio ($10.75), made from thinly sliced Fillet Mignon. The pastas were plentiful and cooked exactly as requested- did I mention I wanted to marry the guy that makes their pink sauce? The Rigatoni alla Boscalolo --a.k.a with sausage and peas -- ($15.95) was just superb.
Moving on, we tried a special that wasn’t on the menu- the lamb special was a Rack of Lamb dipped in a light batter and sautéed in a wine sauce ($22.50). It was served with the most decadent garlic mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. Their version of Chicken Parmesan, Pollo Panetone ($16.95), was served with a slice of eggplant and had a light tomato sauce. Just when you think the meal, the helpful wait staff and the atmosphere couldn’t improve… we ordered the chocolate mousse cake ($6.75) and asked for a side of their homemade walnut ice cream. Did somebody say “aphrodisiac?”
