An excited Billerica man left me a message over the weekend about North End steakhouse G’Vanni’s moving into the B-Ric. This Tuscan giant takes over the short-lived Indian Village on Boston Road. Menu leans on the classic side, which is what you’d expect to fly in this meat and pot. town. Chick and veal marsala, veal saltimbocca, cacciatore and hand-rolled ricotta gnocchi are the house hits. Was that my waistline expanding or yours? Wonder if they will downscale there prices when they go suburban. Not sure, outside of tech workers in for a power lunch, who will be forking over $39 for the delmonico bone-in rib eye. But steak eaters are used to the escalating price of beef. And G’Vanni’s takes this manly protein seriously. I’m on a meat fast, after bingeing last week, but as soon as I come to, the steak fiorentina, grilled sirloin layered over garlicky spinach, garlic reggiano sounds good to me.

Whatever happened to the Indian Village? I kinda liked that place.
I have gone four times in the past two weeks. Had best meatballs and veal parmigiana. Prices are about 30% lower than their north end restaurant.
Well worth the trip. Cant wait to try the pizza.

I would never go back to Billerica, my husband found a piece of metal in his chicken dish, our waitress felt bad but when she told the manager the manager laughed at her and refused to do anything. I paid $9.99 for a dish with metal and will tell everyone I know, these things happen in all restaurants but that is not how they should be treated.
