Lunch, dinner
“If its not on the menu, we'll make it for you,” says owner
Virgilio del Mare. What more can you ask for? An air-condi-
tioned Italian restaurant, Virgilio's is a welcome addition to
the downtown dining scene. There are crystal chandeliers,
stained-glass windows and Italian music plays softly in the
background. Crowded at lunchtime with staff from nearby
shops, it is less so at dinner.
The food, prepared in Northern Italian style, is light on thick
tomato sauces, but heavy on the garlic. Mozzarella marinara
is a delicious appetizer, as are the roast peppers and
caponata (eggplant salad). Popular entrées include osso
bucco and veal Valdoslova (with asparagus and prosciutto).
There are over 40 homemade pasta dishes. A “must” is the
special cappuccino made with 11 secret ingredients. Virgilio
is always around to greet you and to see that things are just
right. Closed Sun.
Although Virgilio's address is
Dronningen's Gade (Main Street),
it is actually a half-block north
(between Main Street and Back
Street)
