We have to admit, were a bit of a foodie groupie. When we find a chef we
like, well follow him anywhere.
When Michele Forgione announced hed be opening his own restaurant in Old
Montreal, we made sure we visited the relaxed yet elegant Osteria
Venti as soon as possible. Our meal started with the braised octopus
with crisp fennel and tangy capers ($12) and the delicious tuna salad
with homemade tuna preserves, black olives, tomatoes and cannellini
beans ($11). Longing for some comfort food, we opted for the lasagne
featuring the Bolognese sauce that won Forgione top honours in the Gazettes
Bolognese smack-down, and were rewarded with a rich and satisfying
dish. With no room for a secondi or a dessert, we vowed to return again
soon.
Not that were a stalker or anything.
