Friday’s dinner pick: $25 prix-fixe at Trattoria Marcella
As if anyone needed an excuse to dine at Trattoria Marcella, chef Steve Komorek is drawing upon his “Slow Food Master of Italian Cooking” diploma to feature $25 four-course regional Italian dinners. The current region is Emilia-Romagna; next up is Tuscany starting on Tuesday, followed on successive Tuesdays by Le Marche, Sicily and Piedmont. There will also be specials on wines from the various regions. The restaurant is at 3600 Watson in the Lindenwood Park neighborhood.
