Bocelli Restaurant - @@@

Went to a local Italian restaurant the other day to kick off the project in Medford.  Definitely not the most decorative place as it looked a little old, but the food was pretty good.  Was sat downstairs where there is an enormous auxiliary banquet hall.  It looked so strange since the storefront looked pretty tiny.

Ordered the stuffed pork chops with antipasto salad.  Salad was interesting because it was not chopped, rather the meat, vegetables, and cheese were lumped on a bed of lettuce.  Others have had it that way, so I guess that is somewhat normal.  The "salad" itself tasted fresh with good tasting meats and cheeses.  The pork chop was stuffed with prosciutto and mozzarella and topped with a slightly mushroom flavored sauce.  It was good and the portion was a very satisfactory size.

Overall it was a good place to start out the project, nothing earth shattering but satisfying nonetheless.  A standard 3 of 5.  Since it is so close to the hotel right now, I may be back later on.
