La Tartaruga, Buccoo
Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2003 10:41 am
May I extend our congratulations to La Tartaruga restaurant in Buccoo, who recently won the 2003 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.
La Tartaruga has long been known for its excellent Italian cuisine. Amenable host, Gabriele de Gaetano, is something of a wine buff (a touch of British understatement here) and can offer diners a choice from 202 Italian labels, costing between US$20-$1500. There are even 42 selections of wine by the glass (US$4.50-$35).
La Tartaruga has now introduced an à la carte menu with starters at US$3-9 and main courses US$9-27.50 to supplement their fixed price menus of US$25 for the three-course dinner and US$58 for the “tasting” menu.
Readers may also be interested to learn that Gabriele has also opened a new Italian Ice Cream bar –Ciao Café – in Burnett Street, Scarborough (about a 2-minute walk uptown from the port).
