- JVJohn VaccarelloOct 10, 20255.0The Local – A Farm-to-Table Gem Nestled in the heart of the community, The Local lives up to its name by celebrating the bounty of nearby farms with a menu that’s both inventive and comforting. From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and commitment to fresh, seasonal ingredients set the tone for a memorable dining experience. I began my meal with the poblano pumpkin soup, a bold and unexpected starter that delivered a delightful burst of flavor. The smoky heat of the poblano paired beautifully with the earthy sweetness of pumpkin, creating a velvety, complex soup that was both warming and refreshing. Next came a peppery arugula salad, a crisp and vibrant complement to the soup. Lightly dressed and topped with local accents, it was a perfect palate cleanser before the main course. For the entrée, I chose the pulled pork served over homemade gnocchi. The pork was tender and rich, clearly slow-cooked to perfection, and the gnocchi—pillowy and fresh—soaked up the savory juices like a dream. It was a comforting dish elevated by its simplicity and quality. Dessert was a showstopper: banana bread drizzled with chocolate caramel. This sweet finale was a cornucopia of flavor—moist, decadent, and beautifully balanced. The drizzle added just the right touch of indulgence without overwhelming the banana’s natural sweetness. Whether you're stopping in for lunch or indulging in their dinner specials, The Local offers a culinary experience that’s rooted in authenticity and flavor. It’s a must-visit for anyone who appreciates thoughtfully prepared food with a local touch. Thanks Casey for a great dinner experience.
