Ferrante - a Winter Restaurant Week 2010 experience
Delicious. Yes, that's the first word that has come to mind to describe my lunch experience yesterday. I went out to lunch with a few friends to one of the many (19 to be exact) restos that are participating for the next two weeks in the Stamford Downtown Winter Restaurant Weeks promotion. I always try to get to a couple during the run, and this time I found myself at Ferrante. Lenny, the owner, has such a warm and welcoming personality--he couldn't have been, as well as his staff, more attentive to our table. And although it was rainy and cold outside, it didn't matter for I was whisked away by the presence of gigantic blooming dogwood branches that adorned the room, and the scattering of mini vases full of pink tulips. How was the food you ask? Well... It was a 3 course lunch. (I'll eat light for dinner I tell myself).
