Review of Tomasso Trattoria Enoteca

I have some friends who do not like Tomasso Trattoria. They say if they want to pay those kind of prices they would rather go into Boston. Interestingly, their complaint does not center on food quality - although they do complain about the portions being a little small (not understanding the Italian tradition of many small courses).

I must admit to not understanding their argument. They would like to drive 45 minutes into Boston using gas and paying the Mass. Pike tolls only to pay $20+ to park for the evening to get similar quality food at a similar price - isn’t that a more expensive evening overall?

For my taste I am thrilled that there is such a good restaurant 5 minutes from my house. No driving hassle. No parking hassle. No additional expense. Just excellent food and I am more relaxed and do not have to rush around as much.

Admittedly, Tomasso may not be for everyone. Many are so used to simply getting a salad and an over portioned entree that the whole concept of selecting multiple smaller courses is completely foreign. I look at it as an opportunity to mix and match different dishes and wine. Which brings me to the subject of their wine list. They have a very nice, Italian-centric, wine list. Innovativly, there is a very large selection of wines that may be purchased by the glass, 250ML 500ML or by the bottle. This makes it very easy to vary your wine and food combinations.

As to price, I often will simply get their Insalate Verde and a Pizza Margherita with a couple of glasses of wine and be out of there for around $30. No fuss. No drive. No tolls or parking. Just excellent food close to home…
