| - Grazie is proof that you don't need an award winning, critically acclaimed chef to have a successful restaurant. It's a savvy business that understands its patrons. A lively place that serves delicious, rustic Italian food. I have recommended this place as a "first date" venue, but personally, I would never be caught dead here with anyone but my core: dear friends, family, committed lovers, etc.
While the company I eat with changes, my order does not. The only time I ever try something new is if I steal a bite of a friend's dish. What could possibly be so good that I order it every time? The answer: Tasca, fresh pasta stuffed with brie, porcini mushrooms and spinach in a creamy tomato sauce. I don't think I've ever had a more perfect plate of pasta.
My usual Grazie-eating partner also happens to be one of my favourite buddies, he ordered Elena - his favourite. But on our recent outing, he opted to try something new and had Stefania - pizza with a creamy porcini sauce, prosciutto, parmigiano and arugula. It was nice - nutty and salty.
But I still wouldn't give up my Tasca for anything. Isn't she lovely, isn't she wonderful...
Delizioso!
