Mary and I went out to the
Woodfire Italian Trattoria in Dowagiac, MI for dinner tonight. I wish my photography or Adobe Photoshop Element skills were as good as the food. The pictures don’t do justice to an outstanding meal in such an isolated area. Mary and I shared am 8” Wood Fired Naples thin crust pizza with Italian sausage, pepperoni, and smoked provolone for one appetizer. The crust could have been crispier but the flavor was hearty. The picture was out of focus
The other appetizer was Scallops wrapped with Italian Prociutto w/lemon aioli sauce. Great contrast of flavors and textures.
Entrée’s included an Italian Sausage Lasagna for Mary. She said it was the best lasagna she ever had.
I had a ½ order of spaghetti with a sun-dried tomato sauce and meatballs which was very good with 2 large flavorful meatballs. Bad picture again.
I also ordered Cioppino which was the highlight of dinner. Fresh seafood, cooked in a well seasoned hearty tomato based seafood broth and served with garlic bread.
Garlic Bread
On the way out I took a picture of the wood oven
No room for dessert, none of which stood out for our tastes tonight. Although a couple of them looked interesting to try the next time we visit. I won't order a double entree though. We do have leftovers for tomorrow.
They do have a large wine list, but I'm not a wine enthusiast so I can't provide more information. The trendy Martini Menu is also available. The Knob Creek on the rocks was a large pour and went down well.
Which is my preference.
