A Great Soft Opening

For the last few years we have watched, tasted, and experienced the flavors Giovanni LaCorte, a 20 year old chef; has been dishing out in his family’s restaurant. As I opened the menu and began to read, I recognized the dishes. These were the specials at Gio’s Table at Joe’s Meat Market his family’s restaurant. Tom and I have enjoyed many savory appetizers and entrees this amazing young chef has been preparing. Don’t get me started on the desserts! I need a flight aka a sampling of the sweet decadent desserts Chef Giovanni has been whipping up.

 

Tonight it was an honor and a pleasure to be invited to the soft opening of his own restaurant. The crispy and gooey Mozzarella en Coroza w fresh marinara sauce (my favorite) did not disappoint. Elegant simple salad w vinaigrette was refreshing and crisp. Entrees were amazing!!! (Wear eating pants there are no small portions here!) Chicken Franchise w Rosemary Potatoes and fresh vegetables was so flavorful and filling. Chicken Capricciosa was delicious!!! Extra Large breaded chicken cutlet w fresh arugula, mozzarella,tomatoes, red onions, w lemon and EVOO was delicious! Flipping it for my lunch tomorrow as an arugula salad w chicken cutlet w vinaigrette.

 

Now….. I know I didn’t eat all my dinner. Yet, what’s a great meal without coffee and dessert? While Tom could not eat another thing – I enjoyed a delicious cappuccino and decadent carrot cake. There a small piece leftover which I’ll have for breakfast w my morning tea tomorrow.

 

This is a MUST ENJOY dining experience. Make a reservation. Grab a bottle of wine. Enjoy a delicious meal made by the talented Chef Giovanni! Tell Giovanni I sent you.   Wishing Chef Giovanni the best in his own novel as a Chef, business owner, and boss of Giovanni’s!!! Many blessings and success! We will be back real soon!!!!
