Barb and I were tired from running around all day. We wanted to go out near our home, but felt like eating something upscale and she wanted fish. In a town full of pizza parlors and Chinese restaurants, there’s only one choice: UVA. We’ve been going to UVA regularly since they opened, about 7 orContinue reading “UVA Ristorante Italian In Richboro”

The first restaurant that Barb and I hit after coming north had to be Guru’s. Naples has started to get a couple of new Indian places this year. There has also been a very upscale Indian restaurant for a few years. We’ve been there twice and in all fairness the food was quite good. ItContinue reading “Guru’s Fine Indian Cuisine in Newtown,Pa”

I have loved skirt steak for a long time. It’s a lesser cut of beef, the diaphragm, I believe. It used to be quite inexpensive, but has gotten more costly since people started using it in many new dishes. Fajitas, Bulgogi, and tacos just to name a few.

We just got home and decided to dine home until after Mother’s Day. A healthy, delicious, and not fattening meal for me.

It’s a very nice, casual and informal restaurant, previously called The Philly Grill. They have always made delicious flatbreads which Barb has been a fan of. Their menu is mostly Italian,Continue reading “The Boulevard on Marco Island”

For us there is only one place to go on Marco Island for sushi: Thai Sushi by K.J. The fish is always amazingly fresh and very nicely presented. Their Thai foodContinue reading “Thai Sushi by K.J.

First rule: find out what day your local Costco gets their mussels delivered. I went last Thursday and asked if they had any in stock. The guy said they were in, but needed 5 minutes to get them out on the floor. I waited. Well worth the wait. Second rule: eat ‘em that night. BarbContinue reading “Five Pounds of Costco Mussels”

For several years Bha Bha has been one of our favorite restaurants in Naples. The service has always been spot on and the food has been an exotic delight. This year it’s been impossible to get a short notice reservation. We finally got one for last night and went with our friends from Chicago, DaveContinue reading “Bha Bha Persian Restaurant in Naples: Improving Food, Declining Service”

We went last night to Verdi’s for about our fourth time this year. The last three times we went mainly for the outdoor seating and were rewarded with a bonus of excellent dining experiences. Our friends Roger and Cathy chose the restaurant and we were more than happy to return and, this time, sit veryContinue reading “Verdi’s American Bistro on Marco Island”
