We hope that one and all had a delightful Easter Sunday.
Steve and I had the pleasure of dining with our good friends Frank and Lorraine at a great new restaurant in the Berkshires. It is tucked away on a scenic hillside and is called Chez Agita. We made reservations and it was a smart thing to do as the intimacy of the setting limited the number of available tables.
Upon our arrival we knew we were in for a special treat. Before we could take our coats off, our server brought to us delectable slices of warm Foccacia straight from the Il Costco toaster oven. Parmigiano Reggiano a la Queen Mary complimented this beautifully.
Our table, adorned in Mappa da McDonalds place mats was a sight to behold. As we began our main course, we toasted one another’s health with a robust and fruity glass of Dancing Bull Zinfandel straight from the Gran Prix Chopper marketplace. Without a doubt, it was Zin-fully delicious.
Chef Frankie prepared Pasta Castellane, a house special of the Dollare Store, and moist, tender and flavorful Chop of Pork presented on a bed of red peppers and onions. I’m salivating just thinking about it. The garlic and oil infused broccoli would have made a convert of the most ardent vegetaphobe.
Dessert was a blast from our Goombah past. Guest chef Lily-Belle prepared Easter pie filled with ricotta, pine nuts, vanilla. Confectioners sugar, eggs and orange zest. Otis Food Critic, and Critic of Everything, Stefano Barkerla, thought that it could have been a little sweeter. So what else is new?
Quiche Lorraine ended the evening on a high note with her aromatic blend of coffee from the Tassimo tub machine. This was the perfect end to a perfect evening.
ZAGAT says: A hidden gem in the hills of Otis, MA. Superior service, exquisite presentation, mouth watering fare……and the price is right. Did I forget to say that Chez Agita is pet friendly?
