The award-winning Bootlegger Bistro tosses and sears its Italian dishes in house-special sauces and seasonings as live music floats nightly between its elegant rooms. A choice of the dinner menu’s hot-mixed-antipasti dishes includes the Bootlegger, which blankets shrimp scampi, fried calamari, and meat ravioli in a house-special marinara sauce. Hot panetti bread and tomato-basil dip accompany Bootlegger’s entrees to the dinner table, such as pollo angelo, a chicken breast hiccupping after its sauté in wine and artichoke hearts. Saltimbocca di vitello stuffs genoa salami and cheese into veal scaloppini before it rolls through authentic Italian batter made from the eggs of Legionnaire-helmet-wearing hens, finally splashing into a sauté of mushrooms and wine. Sixteen-ounce thick-cut Bootlegger new york strips hotfoot across the kitchen grill onto patrons’ plates, where wreaths of homemade onion rings await them. Like a moody cumulonimbus, Bootlegger’s menu is seasonal and subject to change.
