I agree with most of the reviews that said it was too peppery. I’ve had this dish at fancy restaurants, and this doesn’t taste at all like it should. I had to add some of my Romano and asiago shaved cheese to dumb down the pepper. It really gave it better flavor too since the sauce didn’t have much flavor other than pepper. The sauce was a bit watery too. I’m glad I didn’t add the water that they suggested for this very reason. The portions size was good.

Upon returning to the States, DeLucie landed several jobs including Chef de Cuisine at the venerable seafood restaurant Oceana. Today, DeLucie's style remains as distinctively simple as it is universally praised. His newest restaurant, Merchants Social, opened in Hudson, New York, in 2022.
