BRAVO - Becco Our evening was set - we had reservations at Becco and We were looking forward to a special performance of The Odd Couple. We were a group of 5 and none of us had eaten at Becco before. Two in the group had the special of the day a sliced steak dish. Another had the shrimp & scallop dish with the lobster sauce from the menu, my sister had a chicken dish and I opted for the pasta of the day. The steak dishes were quite nicely proportioned and delicious. The seafood dish of shrimps and scallops in a lobster sauce were just a beautiful sight to see and from what I heard just a wonderful taste to enjoy. My sister had enjoyed her chicken dish and I was very pleased with the 3 pasta's - a rigatoni with a light tomato sauce with lots of fresh basil, the vegetable cannelloni in a bechamel sauce was wonderful and the linguini in bolgenese sauce was fantastic.
Four at the table ordered the house appetizer plate which gave you a great assortment of hot dishes from shrimp, stuffed mushrooms, eggplant rolletine and baked clams. The Cesar Salad that the four had with dinner was a very large portion as well. I choose the hot antipasto that came along with my pasta of the day - 2 plates arrived 1 with samplings of calamari in a wonderful vinegrete and swordfish in a tomato sauce, both delicious. The other plate held my grilled vegetables with a great serving for 1.
We all shared in some nice choices of wine and the desserts! Wow, we're chocolate lovers - 2 of us had the special dessert of the day a baked chocolate custard/cake served along with a serving of a raspberry sorbet and I had shared with the 3 of us a delicious chocolate cake that sent us all over the edge.
Great start to a fantastic evening, Bravo... we are all looking forward to returning to Becco. Pauline, Brooklyn NY
