Beretta, our local watering hole/crazy-popular restaurant, has nightly specials. On Tuesday, that special is cioppino. I'm telling you, if you love you some fish stew, get your Tuesday plans in order. This stuff is great.
Kimster and I managed to nab a two-top, despite the crowds, due to the early hour. We both sipped the Agricole Mule, one of my favorite rum concoctions, and shared a starter of broccolini and peperoncini with garlic and plenty of olive oil. For pizza - which is kind of a must here - we had the simple but lovely margherita. And then, the cioppino arrived, thoughtfully divided into two bowls: white fish (halibut?), clams, squid, shrimp in a tomato broth with vegetables and an oval of bread for sopping. Each piece of fish was perfectly cooked, and the broth was deeply flavorful. So...wishing for fish? Mission for fish.
