Improper Bostonian:
Boston's Best, 2005: Guaranteed Great Meal, Brookline
July 13-August 2, 2005
"Brookline's no slouach when it comes to great places to eat, but La Morra, which opened in late 2003 outstrips the fierce competition. The husband and wife team of Jennifer and Josh Ziskin - he chefs, she's front of the house - have staked out their own culinary turf., with a menu that offers traditional Northern Italian cuisine done better than the countless other eateries offering similar fare. With a seasonal menu of wood-grilled meats, fish, and locally farmed vegetables, they've benefited from excellent word-of-moth. One thing that La Morra has introduced to Brookline is its delightful cicchett: These Venetian bar snacks, similar to tapas, are simply the best thing to meet up with a glass of prosecco since Casanova did his thing in dark alleys off the Grand Canal."
