ITA 101

We met friends Zach and Diane for dinner at ITA 101, 20 South Main Street, Medford, NJ 08055 (609-654-0101), on Saturday, December 1, 2018. We had to wait a few minutes for a table to become available for our 7:45pm reservation, but it was worth it!

The bread is crusty outside and tender inside, served with olive oil. We ask for pepper flakes, which makes it a bit more special.


Appetizers

Jay, Diane, and Zach each enjoyed the Candereli in Brodo (bread dumplings, chicken broth, qual egg) weekend special. Jay described it as having stuffing in a soup. Slightly crispy outside, and tender inside, the quail egg was a nice touch. The broth was amazing on its own. Delicious!

Ken enjoyed the Focaccia con Prosciutto e Mozzarella di Bufala (focaccia, prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, picked garlic scapes).

Entrees

Diane and Jay were extremely satisfied with the Risotto con Radicchio, Taleggio, Anatra (duck breast, risotto, radicchio, taleggio). Wonderful!

Zach enjoyed the Spaghetti con Nero di Seppia (squid ink spaghetti with scallops, shrimp, broccoli, EVOO, garlic, light spice).

Ken was extremely happy with Pesce del Giorno (scallops, coco beans, broccoli).

Dessert

Diane always enjoys the Tiramisu. The presentation is a treat in itself. The espresso she enjoyed before desert smelled heavenly.

Ken loves apples, so he enjoyed the Torte della Nonna all Mele ("grandmother's cake, apples, vanilla), served slightly warm. Just the right amount of sweetness.

We didn't get to this one, but will save for another meal...
