Since I now have a job that involves traveling quite a bit, I am going to start writing about the better-than-good places I find when I’m traveling.
Allora Ristorante, Marlborough Massachusetts. 139 Lakeside Avenue.
Entree prices range from $15-market (for fresh-caught lobster, etc). The first night I went, I had a fantastic lamb milanese.
Lamb milanese is like a parmigiana, but served over mashed potatoes. In the case of Allora, there was an arugula and caper hot salad with some sort of light dressing over the the top of the whole works.
I ended up eating at Allora all three nights I was out near Boston because the first night was so good. And each night I ordered something different, and was not upset with any choice.
If you have a reason to be out near where the Mass Pike and 495 cross, take a little time and pop north on 495 to exit 24A for route 20, and head east about a half mile.
You won’t be disappointed.
