Best Bread & Oil in Downtown Nashua
Unum’s in downtown Nashua is an upscale, yet comfortable dining experience. On a recent Tuesday night, I visited the eatery for dinner and drinks with a few friends, and was more than pleased with my meal. The complimentary and generous portion of fresh, crusty bread and teeth-chattering garlic bread sticks, with olive dipping oil and baba ganoush (basically eggplant hummus), was a successful start to the meal. The dipping oil was the best I’ve ever had, hands-down. It packed a strong olive flavor, with just the right amount of garlic and spices. The baba ganoush was perfectly sweet and smooth, and an ice cold draft of Shipyard Pumpkin Ale paired perfectly with the loaf of bread I wolfed down.
For dinner, I opted for the Eggplant Napoleon Salad ($11), mainly because entrees ranged from $20-40, and I’m on a budget. The salad was just the right amount of food though, after all those carbs, and the towering layers of fresh, thick-cut tomatoes, grilled eggplant and fresh mozzarella were generously drizzled with tomato-balsamic vinaigrette. The plate was also scattered with beautifully brown mushrooms and plump olives, resulting in a uniquely nutritious dish.
For dessert, I enjoyed Unum’s Express Martini ($12), a healthy glass filled with Patrón XO Café, espresso, Starbucks dark and light liqueur, and Godiva Cappuccino liqueur. Not for the decaf drinkers, but this drink packed just the right amount of punch from the vodka, while still tasting like a not-too-sweet cup of iced coffee.
