Ah, Bricco is another great meal in the North End. We can’t wait to see what will happen once all the gardens are planted! I ate at Bricco 5 years ago and was not that impressed. There is a new (3rd?) chef now and she is Marisa Iocco (sp?). Wow, I got the zucchini blossoms […]

Back to the food - we jolted off Hanover st to eat at Monicas - a recommendation from a […]

Wonderful beach in JVD!
