New York Times Reviews Chef From Verona
Have you tried Mark Papera's new place? Let us know what you thought.
Chef Mark Papera returned to Montclair earlier this year to the same location, but with a new name, a remodeled dining room and a stubborn determination to get it all right the second time around.
The French bistro Fricassee — Papera's encore to Epernay which also operated at 6 Park Street in the early 2000s — caught the attention of a New York Times food critic who has a lot of nice things to say about the Verona native's cooking.
The critic particularly liked the fricassee of escargots, roast chicken, pot-au-feu and homemade desserts, according to the review which ran Thursday.
Papera, 40, is a 1991 graduate of Verona High School.
