if possible.” Judging
by the convivial bar crowd and busy 100 seat dining room,
Bob seems to be making culinary wishes come true nightly at
Bernardo’s. Many of his customers are regulars who return
week after week for his deeply satisfying comfort food, classic
Italian dishes and budget-friendly prices. Menu items top out
at $20 with most hovering around $15 per entrée. On a recent
night, Chef Bob offered slowly braised Osso Bucco served
with old world tomato sauce and pasta for $15.95. Bernardo’s
gourmet pizza menu includes seasoned pizza shells topped
with traditional and not so traditional toppings; a customer
favorite is the Chicken Saltimbocca pizza, perfect for a cold
winter’s night.
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and Chef Bob
promises, with a romantic twinkle in his eye, a warm welcome,
a menu that won’t disappoint, and a little surprise for every
couple. Many couples who had their wedding reception in
the lovely Candelara function room return year after year to
celebrate, reminisce and enjoy Chef Bob’s effusive hospitality.
Bob offers his customers
a tantalizing peek into the
workings of a professional
kitchen with his evening
cooking classes. Each
class takes place in the
restaurant kitchen and
includes a sampling of
the array of dishes he
creates on the spot, all
in an environment that
makes everyone feel at
home.
Bernardo’s Pasticcatta
Chef Bob Cioffi
Serves 4 - 6
2 sweet Italian sausages
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 Vidalia onion, sliced thin
1 tablespoon mascarpone cheese
4 cups of light cream
1 cup frozen sweet peas, thawed
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Romano cheese to taste
1 lb. pasta (shells, penne or farfalle)
Par boil the sausages for about ten minutes to bring the
internal temperature of the sausage to 160 degrees. Slice the
partially cooked sausages. In a medium pan, heat the olive
oil and sauté the sausages and onions until the onions are soft
and the sausage is cooked through. Drain the oil from the pan.
Add the light cream and mascarpone cheese and simmer until
the liquid is thickened and reduced by about a third. Stir in
the sweet peas and season to taste with salt and freshly ground
pepper. Toss al dente pasta in the creamy sauce, turn into
bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of Romano cheese.
