A. d’jeet? at
the Grove in Shrewsbury
 D,jeet?
The loving question Casey Pesce’s Grandpa used to ask him, in
hopes of sharing a homecooked meal, turned out to be the writing on
the wall, literally, of his grandson’s future. Today, Casey
is executive chef and owner of d’jeet located in The Grove at
Shrewsbury, his own restaurant that has all the warmth and welcome
of his Grandpa’s kitchen…and really good food..
Offering
a cuisine based on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, d’jeet
features a menu that reflects Casey’s personal passion for food
that people can feel good about. His farm-to-table philosophy developed
over years when “he got the food thing down,” starting
as a bus boy and short order cook and advancing to sous chef and executive
chef in some of the area’s finest restaurants. But is was a
trip to the villages of Tuscany and the simple goodness of rural Italian
cooking that ignited the spark to open his own restaurant where he
could combine the cooking traditions passed down from his ancestors,
using only the freshest ingredients and his own special recipes.
On the
menu at d’jeet is a field of mouth-watering choices—Heirloom
Tomato Pizzetta, Housemade Burrata Mozzarella, Organic Scottish Salmon
Burger, Roast Beet Salad, Sicilian Eggplant Rollatini, Barnegat Light
Sea Scallops, Truffle Fries…Inspired dishes that bring forth
the true flavors of the freshest ingredients available at the market
that day. An appetizing showcase of gourmet-to-go greets you on entering
the restaurant, where indoor and outdoor seating is available, for
lunch and dinner in a setting that could recall a Tuscan cafe. Friday
nights live music is a special treat. Full service, on or off-premise
catering for any size party, offers an extensive menu of Casey’s
creations —dishes derived from superior ingredients with food
looking as
beautiful as it tastes.
There’s
a Grandpa’s sandwich on the lunch menu (sopressata, roasted
peppers, fresh mozzarella, balsamic, on Italian bread) and a half
pan of his Macaroni Pie feeds ten on the catering menu. Thank goodness,
there are some things you never forget.
