I’m a foodie, so obviously Boston’s Restaurant Week is like Christmas-come-early to me. I made it to a couple tasty restaurants this year including Rocca and Icarus. Thankfully both had some incredible seafood dishes on the menu, so even this picky diner was pleased.
Rocca impressed with some exotic dishes inspired by the Italian Riviera such as their fish stew that I practically licked out of the bowl (you would have done the same, trust me). Icarus was a bit more intimate, but their polenta with goat cheese and red beets just about made me melt under the table. I only wish I had had the chance to pilfer the wine list that night… It’s not too late though, Icarus at least has extended their Restaurant Week offerings until August 31st!
Of course good food is not limited to Boston. I took a little trip down to Newport, RI this weekend for a friend’s bachelorette celebration and stumbled across Loca, a cute little Mexican restaurant on Long Wharf with tummy pleasing dishes and soul-satisfying Sangria. We had a fabulous surfer-girl waitress that took wonderful care of us and even gave us a round of shots for the road! Gotta love it. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a bite after touring the mansions in Newport some weekend.
I’d share some of the other tidbits from the weekend, but I’ve been sworn to secrecy… bachelorette party and all, I’m sure you can use your imagination.

I only went to one restaurant! Thanks for the heads up about Icarus, maybe I can make it one more.
