Reviews from Worcester Foodies VII

It is the goal of Worcester Foodies to eat everything that Worcester restaurants cook and review it for you! Who are we to "rate" places?

Ravioli in Spinach Cream Sauce

Ravioli in Spinach Cream Sauce

A generous helping of large, fresh ravioli swimming in a thick, well-blended spinach cream sauce. (I loved the sauce so much I was tempted to eat it by the spoonful.) I recommend pairing this dish with the Italian Antipasto Salad for a more balanced »

Oscar’s Special

Oscar's Special

I decided to go with Oscar’s Special, which included chicken, shrimp, spinach, prosciutto, mozzarella and a side pasta. The first thing you could taste from the dish was the sauce, it was very rich and creamy. All of the meat and seafood was cooked »
