Dishes are spicy: the opening Pancatto (bread soup) was thick with Sicilian bread and alive with peppers and a sharp Pecorino cheese. Some of the dishes were a touch startling for West Coast palates: the Penne Con Le Sarde combined sardines, raisins and pinenuts with a penne pasta and fennel. The dish is traditional Sicilian, but for me it did not quite work. Somehow sardines and raisins are, according to my tastebuds, a less than harmo tinus duo. But other guests at the meal ap- peared to enjoy it. Also served were a refreshing Frittedda (a salad with artichoke hearts, peas and large green fava beans topped with a light vinaigrette and chopped fresh minv, and a main entree featuring veal topped with an antipasto-style (Caponata) sauce of eggplant. thick green Sicilian olives and black pepper corns. The Sicilians also have a way with desserts. Zabaglione and cassata both originate in Sicily. Meanwhile at the northern end of Italy: Now over 10 years old, La Cucina has staked out a pre-emi- nent position in the hierarchy of North Shore Italian food restau- rants. From its grape vine-covered building issue forth the aromas of northern Italian dishes prepared with care and precision by head chef Hans Roth and delivered by a team of attentive waiters fed by host Tiberio Faedo. And besides the quality of the food served at La Cucina, diners, now dodging the extra GST bullets built into every restaurant meal, will be encouraged by the reason- able prices of La Cucina entrees and other dishes. A superb rack of lamb, for in- stance, goes for $15.95; pasta dishes are all under $10, and soups and other appetizers range from $3 up to $5.75. Antipasto Misto ($5.50) presents a selection of Oyster mushrooms, eggplant, Proscuitto ham, strips of sundried tomatoes and red pep- pers with a central serving of Chei’s Caponata (vegetable an- tipasto}. Follow that with a Filetto di Bue Con Salsa Peppata ($15.95, fora sublimely tender and juicy beet tenderloin gently baptized in an brisk cream black pepper sauce). Accompany both with a glass of good ftalian Chianti in the intimate ftafian hunting lodge atmosphere of La Cucina and you will be ready to stand and sing the Italian na- tional anthem, The North Shore is blessed with some of Vancouver's best Italian restaurants.
