Contemporary Roman Cuisine |
253 Hanover Street Boston, MA 02113 United States +1 617 742 1276 http://www.marcoboston.com |
Chef Marc Orfaly, after conquering the world of bistro fare at Pigalle, decided to tackle Italian head on. The antipasti here offer just a hint of what's to come. Oven-Baked Figs, Fried Cod Cheeks and an ample seafood list (which includes sardines, anchovies, marinated calamari and eel) will whet even the most stubborn of appetites. As per Roman tradition, even beyond the appetizers, you still have two courses to choose from. The first choice is mainly pastas and risotto. The second is more complex: Chicken Cacciatore, Veal Saltimbocca and lobster are just a few of the options. And still, all of that is to say nothing of the items hot off the grill: steaks, sausage, fish or the Surf & Turf. The wine list is exclusively and impressively Italian. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Mooo to You |
15 Beacon Street Boston, MA 02108 United States +1 617 670 2515 http://www.mooorestaurant.com/ |
No T-bones about it, Mooo is a fancy steakhouse with offerings like traditional Beef Wellington and mouthwatering Hoisin Ginger Beef Shortribs – ah, yes, napkins, please... Yet you can also order poultry and seafood dishes (cluck and splash). Throw in a few inviting pork dishes and a plentiful variety of vegetable sides, and you have a veritable "horn" of plenty from which to choose. Mooo is more than a bit on the expensive side, but then again, it puts lesser steakhouses to great shame. Serving breakfast, lunch, brunch, and dinner, you'll always have a reason to step in for a bite. -Theresa Ludwick Review © 2007, Wcities |

New York steakhouse in Boston |

From Italian fare to steak as well as seafood, the menu at this classic steakhouse is diverse and always extraordinary. As with all its outlets across the US and Mexico, the place has minimal decor, complete with wood accents and plush leather booths, and caricatures of well-known celebrities and local notables, on the walls. The dining room spreads over two floors with ample window seats and a nice long bar. Everything comes a la carte, which means big portions and bigger prices. The steaks are melt-in-your-mouth good, the lobsters intimidatingly huge, and the service, as always, excellent. Review © 2007, Wcities |

French style in Boston |
75 S Charles Street (near Stuart Street) Boston, MA 02116 United States +1 617 423 4944 http://www.pigalleboston.com |
Pigalle brings a hint of Parisian bravado to Boston's Theater District. Critically acclaimed chef Marc Orfaly and his kitchen staff keep diners clamoring for more with a menu of exciting bistro-style meals. Appetizers run the gamut from Cream of Chestnut Soup and Steak Tartare to Crispy Phyllo Tuna Rolls and terrines of eggplant or duck liver. Decadent to be sure, but it is all just a prelude to the entrees. Go as simply as pasta or risotto, or go big with Butter-Poached Lobster or a Crispy Half Duck. The signature dish, of course, is the Pigalle Cassoulet (with confit duck leg, braised lamb shank and homemade pork sausage). As if all of that were not enough, Pigalle also offers a five-course specialized tasting menu. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The menu also includes sandwiches, fish, steaks and down-home Southern sides like succotash, corn pudding and fried okra. Two dozen microbrews are available on tap.
