Junior's Pizzeria Description:
Locals joke that the best part about living in Colchester is its proximity to Vermont. With Junior's, the town boasts authentic, New York-style Italiano, only minutes from quiet farmland. The photo of owner Franke Salese, Jr. that hangs on the wall has the owner gazing like an owl, watching over the Tuscan décor as guests sip Sangiovese and munch on house-made focaccia squares. Heaping plates of lightly dusted, flavorful calamari are sized to share, or one might opt to snack on squid al fresco. Don't miss the crispy eggplant rollatine, thinly breaded cutlets wrapped around decadent ricotta (it's even better the next day). Or our favorite: Penny's Pink Pesto. Redolent of fresh basil and pine nuts, the cappellini dish marries red sauce with a dollop of cream. Add tender pan-seared scallops for a truly unforgettable meal. Best of all, the on-site bakery is a pastry paradise, tempting with treats like fresh sfogliatelle (crispy, stuffed pastries) and berry custard tarts. Prices have grown, but so has the dining room, which makes it easier than ever to score a Saturday night table. And patrons always seem to leave with leftovers.
