On an unseasonably warm December evening, my friend Kerilyn and I went to dinner at Delmonico’s. We were immediately greeted by a friendly hostess and seated at our table in the front room adorned with holiday decorations. We were soon greeted by our knowledgeable and charming waiter, Mike. Mike has been with Delmonico’s for over six years and serving in Syracuse for two. Mike initially pointed out the card on the table with the specials. I thought that this card with the specials was a nice touch because sometimes the wait staff runs through the specials too fast to really hear what they are or to remember them.
We decided to start our meal with the Shrimp Scampi appetizer special. It was four very delicious jumbo shrimp served in a garlic scampi sauce and two pieces of garlic bread. We also both had the Gorgonzola Wedge, a wedge of Iceberg Lettuce, Red Onions, Black Olives, Tomatoes and Blue Cheese Dressing. Our salad was served with warm bread and butter. For an entrée I decided on the Ravioli Tre Modi and ordered it with Half Spicy Vodka Sauce and Half Marinara Sauce topped w/ Gorgonzola. It was wonderful, and cheese and the gorgonzola added a nice flavor. You can also have this ravioli entirely with spicy vodka sauce or marinara sauce. Kerilyn ordered the famous Delmonico’s Delmonico steak -1-1/2 pound (HUGE 24 oz) certified Angus beef, center cut rib-eye steak from Midwestern heavy aged beef, seasoned and perfectly seared and served with Penne Marinara. They say, with some obvious justification, that this is the “BEST DEAL IN TOWN!” The steak was cooked to perfection, just the way she likes it, rare! We didn’t have room for dessert this trip, but next time I will definitely try one of their delicious homemade cannolis, one of my all-time favorite desserts!
