A new restaurant has just opened in Pembroke, and the owner's name might be a familiar one to South Shore residents.
According to the Patriot Ledger food blog, Jimmy Burke is heading up this new Italian restaurant on Washington Street (Route 53) in Pembroke. Mr. Burke is the former owner and chef of Tullio's, a now-closed Italian restaurant on Hancock Street in North Quincy that had a loyal following for years.
The menu at Orta features a mix of Northern Italian and Southern Italian dishes, including papardelle with braised lamb; gemelli with marscapone cheese, mushrooms, proscuitto, tomato sauce; veal meatloaf with mushroom sauce; and pistachio and panko-crusted salmon in a wine sauce. Prices for entrees range from about $10 to $25.
The address for Orta is: Orta Restaurant, 75 Washington Street, Pembroke, MA, 02359. The phone number is (781) 826-8883.
