Here There and Everywhere

Cucina Verona In Fort Bragg, California

This was AdventureMan’s pick, and we both agreed it was one of the best meals of our trip.

Fort Bragg is quirky. It’s a real people kind of town, with grocery stores and drug stores and bakeries.

At dinner, at Cucina Verona, there was an aged guitar-player, but it almost seemed like he might have been someone famous at some time. He played very abstractly, with almost identifiable tunes, but just when you would think you were about to figure out what it was, he would drift off into something else.

Cucina Verona was nearly packed. We had made reservations, good thing. The menu was impressive. They have great waitstaff, helpful, chatty but not intrusive. They made us feel welcome, helped us find the right local wines and checked often to see if we needed anything.

(Just in time, I figured out what I had done and switched back to color!)

AdventureMan had a Pacific Coast Bouillabaisse, and he said it was the best, ever.

I had scallops with a seafood risotto; five or six exquisite, rich scallops (I adore scallops, but they are so rich I never can eat a lot of them) and a rich, creamy risotto full of sea-flavor with local crab and shrimp, oh yummmmmm.
