 Calle's Cucina Reservations

CHOWHOUND REVIEW
Four of us dined there a few Saturdays back. While the service has a few kinks to work out, the food was EXCELLENT. The smoked seafood plate appetizer was elegantly presented and and had amazing flavor. Polpette meatballs were spicy and swimming in a fresh tomato sauce. The Tile fish, new to everyone in our group, was well received and simply prepared- pan sauteed in olive oil. Husband proclaimed his roasted pork chop to be the best pork chop he'd ever tasted. After dinner, the owner came out to speak with us and shared his food philosophy with us- he only prepares the freshest foods using the best ingredients he can obtain. Clearly, this is his passion. Reservations are STRONGLY suggested- they are on Open Table, which is how I originally found them and was scratching my head about the location, but once you step inside it's like another world- beautiful artwork, simple place settings and elegant presentations. Calle Cucina is BYOB and there is a liquor store directly across the street. We will be back soon and I recommend you get over there as soon as possible. This place is a treasure.
