At another home adventure, we tried Amare La Cucina’s polpeta, ribs, and lasagna for lunch. Almost all the restos have added delivery services to their operations and it is no different for this Italian restaurant. This Italian inspired woodfired restaurant is different, immediately because of the cooking method. Woodfired in a brick oven affects food differently, the flavors are more intense and make the meats tender. This is highly addicting.

The polpeta or meatballs that were baked with the tomato sauce and the cheese has a different effect on the tenderness of the meat slathered with cheese or cream or something like that. It could also be that this meat is added to pasta to make a noodle dish. It’s too good to eat alone. The left-over sauce can be cleaned off the plate with a piece of bread in its goodness. This is good to share because the meatball are big servings.

Ribs has always been such an attention getter and at Amare, this comes in workable pieces and are baked with a delicious salty sweet sauce. This comes with buttered vegetables and potatoes. The tender ribs absorb the goodness of the barbecue sauce until the bones. There is a garlic yogurt sauce the perks up the meat when you eat it. Sorry but this is good for one.

The lasagna is not the regular sort. This lasagna has less layers of pasta with more gooey, creamy, cheesy, filling and sauce. Baked in a wood brick oven, there is a different charm to this Italian inspired food filled with herbs and spices. This is for one person as a snack or meal.

The Italian saucy and creamy appeal will always make me salivate. When you like cheese and cream separate or together, eating this fare is best.

There you have it, some more good eats in this city, locked down or eating out. If you ask me, there is still a difference when you are served at the resto compared to eating home. Indulge once in a while on the dangerous food. By Nonnette C. Bennett
