All of us have a place and a feeling that we want (sometimes need!) to experience at the end of a brutal day. A place to slow down, enjoy the atmosphere and food, and literally take deep breaths,. Comfort food plays a huge part. For me, that typically means italian. As most of you know, Tratto (next to Pizzeria Bianco) opened just a few weeks ago, and even on their opening night we experienced the place and that feeling. Chris BIanco is a master in setting the stage and having the right players in place. The experience at Tratto was amazing! Pork loin was incredibly tender and satisfying, and the pasta...well...extraordinary says everything. A few nights ago, we were craving a re-doo...and it was booked...which I was actually thrilled to see. We went next door for a meal..I know...such a sacrifice..NOT....and then returned to Tratto to enjoy more ambiance. When we find a chef that speaks to our hearts....we will be loyal and follow them anywhere. Chef Chris is extraordinary and my hope is that you will give him a piece of your heart like he does every night to his guests. Mille Grazie!
