La Terrazza (Italian)

Since Jay's Groupon was about to expire, she and Ken decided to give La Terrazza Ristorante, 1401 Marlton Pike East (Route 70) East, Barclay Farms Shopping Center, Cherry, NJ,  a try! What a wonderful surprise. Jay called for a reservation (856-354-1888) and was told it was unnecessary since there were just 2 of us. We had our choice of tables once we arrived on Sunday, October 25, 2015, around 6:15 PM.

We were greeted by Kevin, who made us feel like family the entire night!

Delicious bread with an herbed spread and peppers were immediately brought out. Ken devoured most of the basket (Jay only had 2 slices!)



Appetizers:

Jay selected the stuffed long hot peppers with prosciutto, gorgonzola and provolone cheese, oven roasted with red onions and olive oil. Beautiful dish. Tasty and addictive! She wanted more!



Ken enjoyed the Scallops wrapped with bacon, which were huge and satisfying...


Entrees:

Salad came with our meals. The dressing was refreshing and we couldn't stop eating it!



Ken requested, and received, Veal Saltimbocca (not on the menu), which he always tries whenever he visits an Italian restaurant. He was impressed and enjoyed every bite.



Jay enjoyed the Veal and Shrimp Portabella entree. It was so flavorful, especially with the sun dried tomatoes. Half went home for the next day's lunch.


We selected vegetables instead of pasta. Good choice!



We will definitely return and hope to bring others with us next time. Definitely worth the visit! Chef Dave is awesome! His flavor combinations are amazing! Please visit soon!

Kevin remembered us from La Posata! Wow!

Love the open kitchen:

Dolsot House (Korean)

We enjoyed a wonderful 2 1/2 hour lunch today with friends Karin and George, at Dolsot House, 404 Marlton Pike East (Route 70), Sawmill Village, Cherry Hill, NJ, 08034.

We shared the following:

Korean Fried Chicken - Awesome, crispy, tasty, delicious! We've been thinking about these since we decided to revisit months ago!

Honey Sesame (5) and Spicy (5)



Seafood Dolsot: shrimp, squid, scallops, mussels and clams with carrot, onion, and zucchini



Mandoo: Pork & Chive Dumplings (Fried)



Spicy Pork Bulgogi Korean Hoagie - tender boneless KTown BBQ on a bed of Korean sesame slaw in a sesame seeded roll. Delicious!


Beef Bulgogi Korean Hoagie - forgot to take a picture...

Everything was flavorful - we wanted to try more dishes, but were pleasantly full. We will be back.
