I remember growing up, going to the Lido in Lynn, MA...eating big, sloppy plates of pasta smother in a meaty red sauce. It really is the ultimate comfort food. Last night brought me back to those precious formative years (although, I don't remember washing my pasta down with a Jack Danials Manhattan when I was 10).

The Venetian serves classic southern Italian fare with a few more modern dishes peppered into their menu. Our group started with a bruschetta appetizer with strips of prosciutto. The tomato mixture was served on 2" oval croutons, sitting on the prosciutto slices. The dish was tasty, and a great portion for an appetizer amongst 3 people. While prosciutto is always a treat, I'm not sure it added very much to this dish. If I were the chef, I'd remove it.

For an entree, I went with the cannelloni. This was a great dish that really brought me back. Two long sheets of pasta rolled around a ground meat mixture, drowning in a sea of red sauce and decorated with islands of a white cheese. There's nothing fancy or complex about this one...just a big, delicious, mass of pasta, sauce, meat, and cheese done the way it should be.

Can't wait to get back.
