July 24th 2019: Trying Out New Restaurants in Worcester

For lunch today, I decided to check out the new poke restaurant in Worcester, Island Fin Poke. Definitely much better decor than Holy Poke, the other poke place in town.

I got the Strawberry and Pineapple Dole Whip

and the Poke Bowl.

The ice cream was not bad, although somehow I think the poke at Holy Poke is better. This place offers raw shrimp though.

For dinner, we went to Russo Italian Restaurant, a new restaurant that has taken over from Canal Restaurant and Bar, which I visited a while back. Similar layout and decor though.

For food, we got the FRUTTI DI MARE (Mussels, Shrimp, Squid, Clams, Tomato, Herbs)

and the WHOLE ROASTED BRONZINI (Potato, Fennel, Arugula, Roasted Tomato, Tapenade, Lemon).

Extremely fresh ingredients and flavorful as well, though a little on the pricey side. Definitely an equivalent replacement for Canal.
