Had a sublime salad at Ricardo's last night. Strawberries and gorgonzola w/ winter greens in a white balsamic vin. Excuse me? I thought I had died and gone to California where they respect the greens. And it was healthy. Ha! If eating right was always this easy, our country wouldn't be facing an obesity problem. We also had Ipswich fried clams which didn't disappoint. Although I had my heart set on calamari, which they do quite well, the clams were on special and they came from the home of this regional delicacy. Served w/ a nice slaw, and a tiny bed o greens it almost felt healthy too. The minestrone soup was another sleeper hit. It's not for nothing Rick's has won the soupbowl comp. more than once. We miss Kevin, but it seems their new chef Steve has added a renewed focus in the kitch. Of course at Rick's it's all about the ambiance. The mood here is jovial on a Thursday, little jazz band in the corner, and singer Lura Smith, who was dining at a table next to us, got up and belted one out at the end of the night. Nice. And when the bill came, it came w/o heart palpatations. Where are you eating this weekend?

I may be at Ricardo's tonight. It would be only my second time, last time I had the pork T-bone which was outstanding!
How is the Chicken Parm there? It is one of those huge man-sized portions? Hope so.
Tomorrow it's probably the cafeteria in IKEA. Oh joy.
We'll be eating (and drinking) at the Gibbet Hill Grill in Groton tonight. I've heard they have their new spring drink list out. I'm looking forward to trying the Blood Orange Margarita and and my wife wants to try the Muddled Mai Tai! Can't wait to try their Bone-In Ribeye with Blue Cheese butter. Anyone else been there lately?
The chicken parm is fantastic. My wife had it a couple weeks ago. I had a bite and it was the best piece of chicken I've had in a long time. And the calamari was awesome too.
Chicken Parm at Ricardos? I doubt it - this is not a Southern Italian menu - this is not a "spaghetti and meatball joint".....which reminds me..I miss the old Tony's Pizzeria on East Merrimack St - that WAS a spaghetti house.
Peter,
Ricardo's is certainly not a red & white checkered tablecloth joint. But they make a damn good chicken parm, sans the yellow feet.
