Allium Named a 2008 Editors' Choice by Yankee - May 06, 2008
GREAT BARRINGTON — Allium, Mezze Restaurant Group's newest restaurant, has been recognized as a 2008 Editors' Choice in Yankee Magazine's Travel Guide to New England, on sale through August.
The recommendation designates Yankee editors' and writers' favorite restaurants, lodgings and attractions across New England, with information resources divided by state and region.
"Yankee's editors and our trusted legion of travel writers select our Editors' Choice winners," said Yankee Editor Mel Allen. "From their own experiences and tips from our readers, they research and find the most deserving establishments in New England. Recipients range from the rustic to the refined, but all are noteworthy and memorable destinations."
Spotlighting the Berkshire Hills, Yankee describes allium as a " ... newcomer [which] raises the bar with its dedication to regional and organic, from the pasture-raised beef to the artisanal cheeses. Each ingredient is enhanced with slow roasting, wood grilling, savory reductions, infused oils and rich broths."
Opened in May 2007, allium merges Berkshire ideals with urban amenities, focusing on the bounty of the region – local, farm-fresh ingredients. It is a member of Berkshire Grown.
The restaurant serves new American cuisine with a seasonal menu and features a wine list to accompany dinner selections. Chef Joe Nastro, who joins allium after four years in the Primo kitchen, takes great care to provide local and seasonal ingredients paired alongside seasonal and small-production wines.
In addition to Yankee Magazine’s recognition, allium has recently been awarded Boston Magazine's Best New Restaurant of 2007.
Allium will also be recommended on YankeeMagazine.com, where new mapping features, an expanded online database, and search and browse tools are available for travel planning, as well as the functionality to create and save travel itineraries.
The restaurant at 42 Railroad St. serves dinner nightly beginning at 5. All major credit cards are accepted. For more information or reservations, call 413-528-2118. |
