Let me tell you, Toro's tapas are indeed small plates of food, but I can't remember the last time I have left a restaurant feeling so full.  David C and I have TravelZoo vouchers to all six of Ken Oringer's Boston restaurants, and Toro was our third…More »

Stop number five on my tour of Ken Oringer's Boston restaurants brought David C. and I to Coppa, a humble looking establishment tucked away in the South End.  Our vouchers got each of us one salumi, one antipasti, one pasta dish, one pizza, and a…More »

My dinner at Clio was, as the French say, comme ci comme ça.  The vouchers my friend and I had purchased on Travelzoo got us a five course tasting menu, of which some courses were great, while others were just disappointing.
