Tiano's

108 Grove Street, Worcester, 752-8901.

It's good to see that the nine-year-old restaurant in the Northworks isn't showing signs of wear. There's a new menu with new house specialties, but, you'll notice, the prices on several items from the old menu have gone up. On weekends, there is often a lengthy wait. We suggest one of the house specialties, stuffed salmon " a beautiful pink fillet sitting atop a bed of bright-green, fresh, steamed spinach accented by a tiny pile of chopped red tomatoes. The effect was stunning. Inside a pocket of the perfectly cooked salmon was a mixture of porcini mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and cheese. A saffron beurre blanc sauce highlighted the wonderful mix of flavors.

Full review.
