Felicia's Stoneham

Felicia's of the North End in Stoneham is a delightful old school Italian eatery and it was time to visit again on a fairly dreadful day.

You get some nice bread and a very tasty dipping oil. Plenty of bread and that was good for my main dish,

LINGUINI WITH CLAMS ($10.95) is a bowl full of clams including 6 fresh ones. Is there garlic here? You bet but it's not overpowering at all. In fact the broth is delicious and there is plenty of bread to soak it up. Everything was cooked perfectly. Really nice dish.

I think they were short staffed today and it got really busy at lunch with most of the tables taken and they were doing a brisk business at the bar as well. Good for them, it's a nice place.
