Tuesday Night Italian

Last night we thought we would try someplace new after Bailey's Tap Room. So we walked to The Pearl to go to Caffe Allora. It got good reviews, and it was a good thing for us to try something new...spontaneity for us. And...it was closed for a private party. Really? Yes.

So we walked over to Piazza Italia - this is the restaurant we went to on our first visit with cousin K and hubby M. We got a table by the window, and it was about 80 degrees in the place. So not comfortable. Then they brought out a huge basket of bread. Which we proceeded to devour. Then came our meals:

• Chris - Pappardelle with wild boar ragout
• Patty - La Something Something fettuccine with egg, prosciutto, onion, Parmesan, and black pepper

WOW.  They were both out of this world!!   The dish I had was fantastic, and it wasn't a creme sauce, just the parm.  It was fantastic.  And then they brought us another basket of bread.  And we ate some.

GH - we'll need some serious power work outs to work off all those carbs.  But it was totally worth it.
