Roopinder Tara · The Village - Italian Restaurant

text: After my latest lunch at The Village it is my favorite Novato restaurant. They have a new lunch sandwich menu. I had the “SKIRT STEAK SANDWICH- $23.99” which has a ciabatta bun, horseradish, truffle aioli, arugula (greens so you won’t feel guilty), pepper Jack cheese and chimichurri sauce. Served with French fries (a Lil Sumpin’ is a pairing). It would have been perfect if they got the ciabatta from the same place as the guys down the street (Blue Barn). The skirt steak had great flavor but was a bit tough to bite through. My modest proposal: use thinly sliced ribeye. But what do I know? I cut my teeth on Pat’s Steaks in Philadelphia.
