“A good friend is a connection to life, a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.” loise wyse
And that’s how my evening started, with good friends….our choice of restaurant? Perucci’s located at 33507 Atlantic Avenue, Millville, Delaware. Millville is located a couple of miles west of Bethany Beach. It is a breeze to get there at this time of the year. During the season, it might take you a bit longer. Rt. 26 can get busy. Tel. 302-829-8727. Make reservations; Perucci’s is not big; it is popular. Website? http://www.peruccis.com.
This is a very charming old building. It has been been the Millville Post Office in the past and it has also been a gas station, if I remember correctly.
I have been passing the restaurant for some time. I never thought my husband could eat there. Having to eat gluten free…Italian restaurants can be a little tricky. But at Perucci’s you can substitute gluten free pasta and dishes that are gluten free, are labeled as such. Jim, the owner confirmed it. So, if you have to eat gluten free, don’t be scared….they will be able to take care of you.
It was packed when we arrived, but by the time we finished, we had Perucci’s all to ourselves. It was the perfect time to take pictures.
Tracy was our server. She was right on target with her suggestions.
We started with a Pizza Margherita, Sunday sauce, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil. It was thin and crispy. Perfect!!
How could we not have calamari? Of course we ordered the Calamari Fritto, flash fried, pepperoncini, chipolte cocktail sauce, citrus aioli, and spicy chili aioli. Light, with sauces that made your taste buds do a little dance.
A few of the house salads were ordered…Insalata della Perucci which consisted of organic baby greens, tomatoes, Pecorino, and sherry vinaigrette.
I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiano over linguine…eggplant, mozzarella cheese and a choice of sauces: creamy pesto, Alfredo, Vodka or Sunday sauce. I chose the Sunday sauce and it really looked and tasted amazing with the eggplant perfectly cooked…..guess what? I was talking so much I forgot to take the picture. Take my word…it was very good.
One of my friends ordered just meatballs. She was perfectly happy with a salad and meatballs for dinner. She did not forget the Sunday sauce either.
Another friend’s dinner choice was the Scaloppini al Marsala. She chose the chicken, with a Marsala mushroom sauce. She ordered it over Gluten Free pasta.
Another of the same was ordered but regular pasta was chosen…..see the difference? One is curly….taste the difference? Could not taste a difference!!
We were perfectly satisfied but when Tracy mentioned desserts….well those sweet endings were hard to resist. We decided on the Tiramisu, which was all homemade…wonderful light and we shared it. Beautiful layers!!
Perucci’s is cozy inside. An intimate setting. Even though the tables are near to each other, we felt very comfortable talking and feeling right at home.
The Board
We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Everyone was friendly and the service was prompt. Perucci’s has specials throughout the week. Check out the above mentioned website.
I will certainly go back….too many dishes to still try, including the gluten free ones.
Having dinner with a group of friends is and will always be priceless!
Have a good one!!
