Her meat and tomatoe sauce/polenta is superb. Can anyone recommend a restaurant that serves good polenta ?

You can reheat it, grill it, etc., and although good, never the same as it is fresh and soft. I have never found the fresh stuff in a restaurant. It takes time to make it, so what you usually find is the reheated version, so I have never bothered ordering it. You can make it at home, it is not that difficult. I recommend the Primo cornmeal brand. Use a cast iron pot if you have one. Give yourself about an hour.

The same owners serve a different polenta dish at their Queen St. E location - Gio's Rana's Really Really Fine Restaurant. Tue Feb 01 11:31:35 -0800 2005 551569 0 Betty
