Village Belle Praised

Adam Erace reviews Queen Village’s Village Belle and declares the Italian restaurant’s tomato sauce to be as good as his grandmother’s. Sacrilege!

My ideal meal at Village Belle would be built around pasta and starters, because so many are so great — husky escarole soup with mini versions of those meatballs; a “napoleon” of red beets and chèvre served with crisp, balsamic-anointed arugula; calamari, either fried or poached with shrimp and scallops for a lemon-y seafood salad tangled with lollo rosso lettuce. And plenty of the house-baked caramelized-onion focaccia, of course.
