My Happy Place

When you’ve just been stuck inside for a week with the flu, you need a warm happy place with lots of healthy comfort food and warm lovely people. Dom’s Trattoria in Beverly Farms looks like a pizza joint from the outside, but stop in any day and mouthwatering specials fill the case, in addition to their extensive menu. Angela and Ralph own the place and Joyce is the cheery welcoming committee! Angela also does a cooking show on local cable access and they have a healthy school lunch program (lucky kids). All the ingredients are fresh, local, and you won’t find any high fructose corn syrup or other nasties. They carry the local soda Spindrift made right here in MA. She even does creative subbing with whole wheat flour in dishes and a full serving of cauliflower puree for half of the cheese in the mac’n cheese for a healthy twist. (Creamy and delicious – you wouldn’t know – that sneaky Angela!) Most everything is available wheat and gluten free too! Stop in, say hello, and trust me – order the special!

Check out their video on Boston.com. Photos of Angela and the wee one’s clean plate club membership stamp of approval, Ralph and Joyce, some delicious food including their awesome quiche and tart which will spoil you for all others, cheesecake in the case before dinner and by the time we finished dinner (it was light and fluffy), homemade bread and free apples, menu and cookies!

PS: Joey, add them to your free WiFi list when you get a chance.
