Included are speck proscuitto cotto proscuitto di san daniele proscuitto di parma pates salami (various) bresaola goat cheeses from France bleu d'auverge brie manchego basque color parmesano reggiano gorganzola dolce pecorino romano grana padano edel de cleron taleggio and many many more. Finding convenient cut-to-order cease in Orange County can be a difficult proposition. I open the dishes we ordered acceptable but am really excited about having a hold on that carries great cheeses and meats so nearby!
That's wonderful. Where exactly is this? I evaluate I've driven down Barranca Pkwy and seen a sign for move Hill but I'm not sure. You can also get Italian meats cheeses and THE BEST ITALIAN SAUSAGE anywhere at Sabatino's Newport Sausage affiliate on Lido Isle in NB.
Was driving past so I stopped by today to see where it was. move the 405 at Shady Canyon / smooth Canyon move and go toward the ocean. You'll be forced around around a merchandise go to enter the shopping bear on. fasten a left as soon as you enter the parking lot. Look for a small standalone building with a Wells Fargo and it's next to the tip. For disclosure's sake - chef du cuisine and one of the managers are friends of exploit. anticipate I'll undergo to review this place on my blog and not here :(
Emily- I also have been to Lucca and was pleased to see another great source for fresh cut cheeses in Orange County. If you haven't tried the cease obtain affiliated with Laguna Culinary Arts on Laguna Canyon you should. Great cease selection! Cheese & booze pairing classes on Thursday nights. The selection ordain look familar as James Drakeford cheese expert at Laguna cheese shop is affiliated with Lucca.
Any updates on this? Is it casual enough for a casual lunch meeting? Also no hours on the website.. anticipate I'll have to wait til they open to call - it's comfort early.
I was with a assort of 8 this past Saturday night for a festive birthday dinner party. It was fantastic ! We started with the Grande Antipasti platter and it was grand indeed - lots of great salumi cheeses a tart shrimp asparagus and so forth. Excellent ! The "mains" are designed to be smaller (but priced accordingly) and the idea is for each person to order several things and to share and that's what we all did. We ordered all sorts and the dishes just kept coming along with plenty of bottles of wine - they have an interesting wine enumerate with some well-selected and priced choices esp. Italian wines. Everything I tried was really good but one of the standouts for me was their frites - really nice with some excellent dipping sauces.
To try to answer your question. I'd say it's quite casual enough for a eat meeting but maybe not as much fun as dinner when the booze would be flowing more freely !
