La Torretta Scottsdale AZ
On the Scottsdale Side is La Torretta.
The Salmon Dish is called Salmone Alla Francesca.
La Torretta Scottsdale AZ Salmon Alla Francesca $23.99
The Set Up-
The menu reads this dish is made with Columbia Delta Salmon in a Shallot, Italian Parsley, Lemon Butter, White Wine Sauce served with the vegetable of the day.
Pros-
The vegetables were cooked nicely and the fish wasn’t burnt or raw.
Cons-
The sauce was very over-powering so much that I couldn’t taste the fish until the third bite. When I was able to taste the fish it tasted off like when you buy from your forking local AZ supermarket. The fish wasn’t spoiled but had a strong fish taste and was just slightly over cooked. Unfortunately my waiter asked me how things were before my third bite so I wasn’t able to tell him about the strong tasting fish. I did inform him about the sauce. I wasn’t able to eat the rest of the fish. (and it was $23.99)
I do note maybe you might hit them on the day when the fish just came in and will have a better tasting fish. I also have no idea if the main chef made prepared the sauce or a new trainee.
Suggestions-
When ordering fish at La Torretta ask when the fish was delivered and ask for the sauce on the side.
On The Glendale Side is Cucina Tagliani
The Set Up-
The Salmon Dish is called Salmon broiled or Parmesan includes one low carb vegetable and pasta in a lemon-caper butter sauce. (the choice of vegetables are Broccoli, Spinach, Spaghetti Squash, Sautéed Mixed or Grilled Asparagus.
Broiled Salmon with Spaghetti Squash and Pasta in lemon-caper butter $13.99
Pros-
Everything was prepared well. Everything including the fish were Fresh tasting and was cooked threw but still had moisture.
Cons-
Not much flavor to the spaghetti squash and minimal flavor to the fish. Pasta seemed a little too oily.
Suggestions-
You might need to use your salt and pepper at the table. I prefer this dish more substituting another vegetable for the pasta. Parmesan Style might be more flavorful but I haven’t ordered the fish that way here. Maybe order a side order of one of their many sauces for this dish.
The Verdict-
BY A FORKING LANDSLIDE
THE WINNER
Glendale AZ (FORK off Scottsdale!)
CUCINA TAGLIANI
Fresh tasting fish (priced at $13.99) beats fishy tasting fish every time. (Especially with forking fishy $23.99 price tag.)
