Stop #39, Da Flora is
quite unique. The atmosphere is quaint & friendly. Several people that
walked through the door were greeted with a hug from the owner. They prefer
cash & ask that you don’t use your cell phones (I’m a fan of the no cell
phone usage during dinner btw). The menu changes daily, but the one thing that
is always available is the homemade focaccia bread. This was hands down the
BEST focaccia I’ve ever had. I would go back just for the bread alone. It was
crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, had a hint of salt, and was lightly
coated in olive oil. We ate two full plates of it between the two of us, and
for once in my life I didn’t feel guilty about the carbs because they were
worth every bite. We had the stuffed artichoke for a starter. I expected it to
be served warm, instead of cold, but it was still really good. The crunch of
the breadcrumbs and the tender artichoke heart was a great contrast. FZ had the
halibut served over asparagus. He thought it was a little bland and like most of
the meals he orders he wasn’t satisfied with the portion size. I had the risi
bisi: risotto with fresh peas. I’m not typically a fan of peas, but I love
risotto so I gave it a chance. It was delish. Great flavors & texture. Not
too rich, and very filling. Overall I really enjoyed the meal and the ambiance.
The prices were on the higher side, but again fairly average for NB. Go try the
focaccia!!
