February 11th 2019: Porketta Lunch at Depot Street Tavern, Milford

We had lunch at Depot Street Tavern in Milford today, which is actually more of a dive bar than a restaurant.

Pretty popular place though, judging by the crowd for lunch. We got the Homemade Porketta Ravioli (Homemade porketta ravioli tossed with a ragu of wild boar, tomato, wild mushrooms, onions, celery, garlic, carrots, red wine. Simmered for hours and finished with a drop of cream and romano cheese. Topped with fresh shaved fennel and served with homemade garlic bread )

and the Porketta Burger (Ground pork seasoned with roasted garlic, cracked black pepper and chili flakes, topped with shaved fennel salad and provolone cheese on a local bakery roll. Served with hand cut potato chips).

The ravioli were delicious with the sauce, and although the burger felt a little bland at first, the true flavor began to show through eventually.

Can see why this place is so popular, despite its shabby appearance.
