My Quest

This blog is the tale of my quest for home-made, low-salt, traditional, rustic and innovative cuisine. Special attention is given to restaurants and food suppliers in special locations, such as locally owned farms, farmer's markets, walkable people places, water view properties and to properties of notable architectural merit. Restaurants and inns are considered in light of sustainability efforts as well, and noted with a green apple for special efforts to conserve and sustain.

Cathryn's Tuscan Grill



tuscangrill.com
Cold Spring New York
This restaurant is the perfect stop after a morning hike in the nearby hills or an afternoon meandering the curious shops of Cold Spring. The spacious restaurant with outdoor eating area brings to the states the wonderful flavors of Tuscany. This evening we savored the fresh pasta of the frutta di mare, served with fresh seafood in a delicious red sauce. This is the best pasta we have had since Italy.
The lentil soup was also fresh and delicious, and a gloriosa insalata offered hearts of palm, a rare and delightful addition to a salad. I was very impressed to find a Vermentino from Tuscany by the glass, which complemented the lentil soup nicely.  The Sicilian version, more commonly available in wine stores here, is not nearly as good as the Ligurian or Tuscan.
The last time I visited Cathryn's I had the Tuscan white bean soup. It is wonderful so if it is offered, enjoy!
Grazie Cathryn...a bit of Tuscan charm in a very fun and beautiful part of the world...Cold Spring.
