V's Trattoria

It's been a few months since I last visited V's Trattoria but it was a welcome meal to be back. We were across the street at Hartford Stage at a Technical Rehearsal for 'The Engagement Party' which seems like it will be a super play. We started, of course with their great bread, and then split a Pesca Salad. This was just as good as we had remembered and the pear was perfectly. A glass of Sauvigon Blanc Marlborough helped this all along. Then the pizza got waylaid by a group of corporate networkers who were having an after-work get together. They also had pizza on their menu. A half hour later our Spinach, Potato and Sausage pie arrived and it was delicious. Worth the wait...maybe!

As you can see, I haven't been here for a while and missed it. So when four of us were volunteering in the food kitchen next door we dropped in after. Since it was a Sunday, the small plates were only $6 each. We each had a salad [Panzanella for me} and then the entire list of six available plates: Homemade Burrata with Fig, Sausage and Peppers, Shrimp, Fried Artichokes, Meatballs, Ahi Tuna. All were delicious!

Here again on a Thursday night but too late for our oyster fest [only 6 left so we each got 3]. Awarded an amuse bouche [just put your V's card on the table]. Had the Panzanella salad and it was excellent. Ordered Calamari and good but I am getting to not like the cherry peppers fried into the order. Primavera Pizza ended up being dessert.

It's Thursday evening and I'm bored at my present gathering and I'm hungry. So I ended up at V's Trattoria again and it's Buck-a-Shuck! Yes!


We each ordered a dozen Blue Point oysters [$12] and a nice pour of Sauvignon Blanc [$12]. Followed this with the Pesca Salad [$9] with the grilled peaches and it was just the right ending to a successful evening meal. NOT! Got creative with a 'Craft Your Own' and split a small pizza with sausage, spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms [$18] and it was super. However, most of it took the ride home to be part of a meal on another day.

blognote: Got to talk with Rob the owner. Great service by Ian and will ask for him next time in.
