Here's another restaurant review for those who are inclined to eat around here in Easton, MD.
Yes, I'm a busy little beaver today with three posts. Could it be there are some other things I am putting off?
When we are in New York we have a favorite Italian restaurant called Il Grifone which is at 244 E. 46th. It is absolutely outstanding but not the subject of this review.
Il Grifone comes to mind because last night we happened to go to a new Italian restaurant here in Easton (MD) with a decor which is New York sophisticated.
It is Scossa and is on Washington St. opposite the courthouse in downtown Easton. The decor is softly neutral, very elegant and sparked with well placed lighting and luscious candlelight. I felt immediately at home and very, very comfortable. Such a pleasant feeling.
Now, when I enter such a setting I am often afraid that I will be disapponted somehow. There were absolutely no disappointments. I chose a scallop and shitake mushroom starter which couldn't have been more lovely. I followed it with a light pasta dish. Roma circa 1962 was when I had a cenneloni like this. Heavenly shell with a meltaway stuffing of veal and cheese. My wife had a veal dish which was wonderful and it included perfectly prepared mash potatoes and vegetables which were neither too raw nor too done. We had chosen a carafe of the house pino grigio which proved to be the perfect compliment. We took a deep breath almost not daring to hope that dessert would be as good. The fruit tart flamed with Cointreau was beyond our hopes.
Oh yes. I forgot the service. It was not to be faulted.
If you are ever in Easton, don't miss Scossa.
