Have you heard of Dine-Out Boston or Restaurant Week? Different name, same thing! Restaurants offer a prix fixe menu for a lower cost than what you would normally pay! A total WIN for us patrons! This week we tried Strega Prime in Woburn, GREAT options for a low price of $38.00.
We would like to start off by saying that the service was phenomenal, our waiter, Georgi, was outstanding. All the things you want in a waiter: attentive, informative, and helpful. He went above and beyond for us, even knowing we were ordering off of the Dine-Out menu. He treated us as if we were spending the big bucks. Which… brings me to why the review of VALUE is 3.5 buns…the Dine-Out menu was 5 buns, however, the price of the everyday menu for value is 3 buns, it is a pricey restaurant. Now, let’s get to the food!
OH HEY, Lobster Bisque! This Lobster Bisque was GLUTEN FREE (GF)! Amazing, right!?! For everyone who is GF, YOU know finding a bisque or chowder that is GF is almost non existent! The Lobster Bisque was rich, creamy, and loaded with lobster. Definitely will be getting this again!
La Burrata with Prosciutto, just WOW! The burrata – mozzarella filled with creamy ricotta, on top of tomatoes with prosciutto, drizzled with a balsamic – was fantastic! This is a great app paired with a nice glass of wine! We will definitely be coming back to sit at the bar for the burrata!
TIP: Save your popover to make a tomato, prosciutto, burrata sandwich! You won’t be disappointed.
Gluten free pasta with mixed mushrooms, truffle cream sauce, parmesan, and parsley
There really are no words for how amazing these meals were. We both loved our dishes and would TOTALLY order them again! The steak was cooked perfectly at RARE, oh how we LOVE our meat RARE!!!!! AND, the GF Pappardelle, was perfect! GLUTEN FREE pasta, yes for everyone who can not have all the gluten! These two entrees were excellent!
Ok, for all you dessert lovers, THAT espresso gelato was EVERYTHING! We debated ordering seconds! It was delicious AND it is also on top of the Tiramisu! YUM!
Overall, Strega Prime was top notch with 18.5/20 buns! From service to food, everything was on point! WE have NO complaints and will definitely be adding Strega into the rotation AND most definitely requesting Georgi as our waiter!
