I once talked to the owner of Riccardi's, and he told me he brings all the shit because that's what sells and then on top of that a little bit of what he genuinely likes (CDG, Junya, etc.). Take it for what it's worth...

No worries Real Real. The De Haro's get angulas every so often so theres no real guarantee at any point. I've actually not eaten them there myself but they were one of the unwritten specials (you have to actually ask the server. otherwise they won't even tell you about specials. Usually the specials are items they honestly have a very small amount of... something actually special be they baby clams or something else). No matter what, I'm quite certain you'll enjoy Taberna.
Riccardi is eurotrash hell for the most part... although according to the web-time-capsule search engine they used to carry CCP! They also used to carry Helmut as well.
They do take risks in terms of some of the pieces they carry. You'll not see some of the CDG and especially crazy Junya anywhere else really like Faust said, but in terms of actual stuff that you'll enjoy browsing and wearing, you should just cart yourself over to the good folks at Bilzerian.
*edit*
looks like Taberna has a website now: http://www.tabernaboston.com/index.htmlwww.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

the owner is super cool...so is the cashier (I cannot remember her name).Originally posted by Faust View Post
And, Tealuxe is at the corner (a couple of stores down). I recommend the Irish Creme tea and if you ever have a sour throat the Throat Tender is the best remedy (it has cardamom for soothing and clearing nasal passages, cherry bark to suppress coughing, slippery elm to coat the throat and clove to numb that pain). No joke, I live on that tea when I am sick...also love having breakfast or tea and crumpets with devonshire cream there.Comment

To add another Bostonian to the mix:
East Coast Grill is good, at least by Boston standards.
Legal seafood has become a bit overrated but is still solid.
Daily catch is real nice, although I'm biased towards it as its my friend's place.
Sushi- uni in back bay is real good but obviously ricic expensive.Comment

So trying to go out to dinner to a new place in my new hood once a week and I went to Al Di La. Yummy!!!!! I took a friend there to say thank you for helping me. We shared a homemade potato gnocchi with a pork ragout and creamed goat cheese. They had the tripe appetizer and the rabbit with polenta and I had the hanger steak with arugula and a side of roasted brussels sprouts. I will definitely go back there (its right around the corner). It was packed and they dont take reservations. Incredibly yummy and reasonably priced.

That is my test of a good meal/chef. If I want to lick the plate then it was a good meal.
That gnocchi was so light and melted in my mouth...yum.Last edited by kira; 12-06-2008, 08:41 AM.Distraction is an obstruction of the construction.Comment

this reminded me; when I was in nyc I went to little owl as it was suggested by several people, and it was indeed excellent. just the type of simple, super tasty and well made food, no uneccesary quirks.Originally posted by kira View Post My favorite thing is when you can go get food that is simple, but something so tasty that you think about it the next day.

Just got snowed in in Portland, Oregon for a week (airport shuts at a hint of snow), and this is really what they do best. They're a budding foodie town, and their experimental foods are just not good yet, but their "brilliant basics" or whatever you want to call them, are heavenly and cheap.Originally posted by mike lowrey View Postthis reminded me; when I was in nyc I went to little owl as it was suggested by several people, and it was indeed excellent. just the type of simple, super tasty and well made food, no uneccesary quirks.
Also, I just made the tastiest black-truffle eggs, mmmmm.
Albert, plans for immersion circulator and anti-griddle were put on hold, but they will be resumed beginning of January. Still shooting for $200 maximum for each, and thinking I'll hit it.Hobo: We all dress up. We all put on our armour before we walk out the door, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re trying to be someone else.Comment

Fire destroys 7 shops in Fenway
This may not be the best place, but I thought I would share...
"A four-alarm fire tore through a block of shops early this morning near Fenway Park, destroying six restaurants and a dry cleaner as it caused an estimated $5 million in damage...The restaurants destroyed by the blaze include Thornton's Fenway Grille, El Pelon Taqueria, Greek Isles Restaurant, Rod-Dee Thai Cuisine II Fenway, Umi Japanese Restaurant, and Sorento's Italian Gourmet. The fire also inflicted minor damage on a two-story garage behind the row of shops, MacDonald said."
El Pelon and Rod-Dee are 2 of the best cheap eats in Boston...this is very sad.
