chop chop by Rip & Marsha Naquin-Delain Email: marsha@ripandmarsha.com A Taste of Rome Right Here in The French Quarter at Lil Vic's Rosticceria You can imagine what a delight it was on a walk through the French Quarter when we came upon Lil Vic's Rosticceria, 719 Toulouse Street. It's very reminiscent of a walk in Rome, Italy, where you come across delightful eateries that entice you to enter. Of course, the gelato bar beacons you to hop through the doors at Lil Vic's, and then you discover all of the wonderful other authentic real Italian offerings. Arancini: Stuffed & Fried Risotto On this venture, two of our friends joined us in this culinary experience. Our friend and proprietor Vic Caracci helped us in our selections, since we were not familiar with some of the dishes. We started our with an assortment of Arancini (4.00) which we learned were stuffed and fried risotto balls, one ragu stuffed, one spinach and mozzarella stuffed, and one stuffed with ham and cheese, all served with marinara dipping sauce. All were distinctive in flavor and texture, giving you a mouthful of WOW! But the spinach and mozzarella was over the top. Don't think you even needed the dipping sauce. Our next offering was an assortment of Pitoni (4.00-5.00) which are fried or baked pizza turnovers including baked ham and mozzarella, baked spinach and mozzarella, and fried pulled pork ragu. Unbelievable! Again each brought you a taste of Italy, but it was the flaky buttery turnover pastry which stole show enhancing the stuffings beyond belief. We also tried the specialty of the house, The Papa Vic (7.00), which was a delicious ciabatta sandwich stuffed with pulled pork ragu and provolone...simply to die for! And you don't think we stopped there. Next up Vic served us his homemade tiramisu and cannolis. OMG, this tiramisu was like a walk back in Rome for the real deal. And the cannolis...just too too much! We could barely walk, but had to each try a gelato, which were fabulous. They even offer a sugar free chocolate gelato for those diabetics out there. While picking out our gelatos, we noticed all the homemade Italian pastries, so we got a box of those to take home for breakfast the next day including cinnamon rolls, cream cheese danishes and a croissant roll stuffed with chocolate cream. If you want a walk on the real Italian side, visit Lil Vic's Rosticceria, 719 Toulouse Street. Call 504.304.1238 for more information.
