Dish of the Day: Antoni's veal scaloppine

For July's first Dish of the Day, Antoni's creates its own interpretation of the traditional veal scaloppine.

Antoni’s Italian Café creates its own version of the traditional veal scaloppine, grilling veal and topping it with artichoke hearts in a white wine, lemon and butter sauce. For EatLafayette, order one pasta dish and a small salad for $10; choose among pasta fresca with grilled chicken, bolognese pasta or four-cheese macaroni. Antoni’s is located at 1118-A Coolidge Blvd. in the Oil Center and is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Every week day during EatLafayette, the popular initiative to get more diners into locally owned restaurants, The Independent will spotlight a Dish of the Day; on Wednesdays, our Dish of the Day also becomes the Dish of the Week and is published in the print edition. Because of the July 4 holiday, the paper and Dish of the Week publish Tuesday. The campaign runs June 18 to Aug. 15.

To be eligible for the Dish of the Day feature, digital images from participating EatLafayette restaurants or their patrons must be emailed to Katie Macdonald at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Wouldn't it be nice to have the recipes for the Dishes of the Day/Week accompany each photo?

Marsha, we are working to include more recipes with this feature. In fact, two recipes will be published in this week's paper, which hits newsstands tomorrow because of the Wednesday holiday. In order to qualify for Dish of the Week, the restaurant must submit the recipe. So more great recipes are on the way.
