Penny-pinching epicureans, take note: chef James Walter has just introduced his Rustic Italian Trattoria Menu at Portsmouth’s Pesce Blue. The three-course menu, tagged at $25 per person, will be available Sunday through Thursday nights and will change on a weekly basis. Just to give you an idea of the hearty, warm-you-up, wintry fare that you can expect, recent menus have included leek and lobster soup; prosciutto wrapped bistro steak with rosemary roasted cannelini beans and braised cavalo nero; and chocolate beet cake with orange marmalata. Well worth a special jaunt north to New Hampshire, the menu can also be incorporated into your return trip plans from a weekend of skiing or outlet shopping. Call 603.430.7766 for reservations.
