Dinner thread...What's cooking...

If you're in the mood for Italian, I'd suggest Gran Gusto in Cambridge over anything in the North End. Hidden gem, utilizes better ingredients than anywhere in the North End and the menu doesn't include the tourist mark up.

How are the portions?

Thanks for the suggestion, wife has her heart set on Giacamos (hopefully we time the line right) and with the kids the North End touristy thing adds some value so I think the N.End is where we will end up.
Will check out Gran Gusto for a future date night though.

Pepe has a sister restaurant in NYC called Tiella. I have not been, but I'm sure it is just as good.

yeah, totally bizarre location. I'm guessing cheap rent. Probably helps keep his menu prices down. Most of the products he uses are sold for far money even in Harvard Square, never mind in Boston.

Leftover chicken and broccoli pizza.

Parmesan Crusted Cod with Sage brown butter and corn on the cob - from Florida and okay. Not fresh local summer corn, but pretty good, especially on a hot summer night, which is what we have.
