Lunch
specials can be a good
place to find value as
long as one feels like
eating what is offered
and the special
Minestrone Soup to start
with sounded good to me.
The soup was followed by
a grilled chicken and
salad entree and at
$9.95, I would say this represented
a good value.
Sometimes
in life you taste
something that is so
simple, rustic and you
know it's been in someone's
recipe book for many
generations. It
makes you
feel as if you are
eating in Grandma's
kitchen in the old
neighborhood. One
taste of Via Brera's
unpretentious version of
Minestrone Soup will
fill your stomach with
something very
special and yes
spectacular. To
make my experience even
greater I was served a
large bowl of this old-world soup, a
recipe which I'm
sure nourished many a peasant where it was
created. I ate
every drop with the
largest soup spoon I
have ever seen used in a
restaurant.
I
was so satisfied with
the soup that ending the
meal there would have
been fine, but my grilled
chicken entree arrived,
and it was good.
The star of the meal
though was the
spectacular soup, and it
is something to be
sought after and tried
at least once.
It's a little different
from the traditional
American version of
Minestrone Soup but Via
Brera's version makes
all the difference in
the world and this
difference is something
worth experiencing for
yourself. - Jersey
