| - We came back to see how Belfiore's food was doing. After all this was a place that we adored in the past but the last time we went there, it was less than stellar if you read my past review. We had a waitress that we hadn't met before, Heather who put in our order of Shrimp parmagiana which came with a salad and pasta. That's just one of the great things about Belfiore. They give you a nice,fresh salad with your meal while other restaurants charge. They also give you a nice bread basket with bread made right on the premises. They have no problem refilling it either. Nice touch.
Hubby had his usual eggplant and chicken with marinara sauce (no cheese). He is watching his svelt figure so he had broccoli as a side dish. We also ordered a carafe of Cianti which was delightful.
My shrimp parmagiana came with 6 shrimp and melted mozzarella cheese and a red sauce. I totally enjoyed it, but couldn't finish it. Did I say they give big portions? They do. Hubby's chicken/eggplant dish was perfectly cooked and the broccoli was to die for. How could I say that about broccoli? Well, it had a wonderful garlicky flavor, it was not underdone--it was not overdone (not mushy). I don't know how they did that but it was probably the best broccoli I have ever tasted. Since hubby shared his broccoli with me and he was eyeing my pasta side dish (rigatoni), I let him taste it. He liked it but found the sauce to be more vinegary than he likes. Sometimes sauces can be too sweet or they can be vinegary. I add carrots to the sauce to take the edge off the acidity of the tomatoes and then I remove them from the sauce (free tip to all you cooks!). I agreed that the sauce was a touch vinegary but it didn't keep me from eating it. I took a doggy bag of my leftover shrimp and pasta and I will confess it is totally gone. What a good lunch I had with it. Heather gave us good service. Everything was on point. On our way out, we decided to buy something from Belfiore's bakery. They have a bakery, you know. One of our favorite waitresses, Chris, served us there. She is always so welcoming and sweet. She even stopped by our table to say hello. We got one large brownie and one tiramisu. When we got home, I tasted a bit of each and while the brownie was very good the tiramisu was to die for. I was licking the paper it was wrapped in... nothing was going to waste! Next time I'll buy more.
We had a good dinner there and will definitely be back.
