But now I'm back and better than ever!
Last night's trip to Tarallucci e Vino was, gastro-wise, somewhat disappointing (company-wise, it could not have been more ideal). The bread and olive oil always deliver and got me super fired up for the actual meal but, in reality, it just didn't deliver. The fresh mozzarella in the bruschetta was was too soggy and watery and the eggplant was far from flavorful. We also were feeling frisky and ordered the fried dough with mozzarella and ham and that too was somewhat boooooooring. Definitely needed a dipping sauce or accoutrement of some sort.
Thankfully, the pastas were a bit tastier. But, at an entree price of $28, expectations were high and well, Katie's long, thin paper-like noodles that housed a duck ragu and parmigiano cheese was the only one to really wow us. My tortelli with pork cheek and braised rabbit was just ohhhhhhkay and not as flavorful or rich as I'd imagined. Poor Lee ended up with stuck together tagliatelle and sun-dried tomatoes with absolutely zero sauce or flavor.
Thank goodness for the deliciously crisp Viognier and awesome company. I'll probably just go back for the heavenly hen broth with parmigiano crepes and wine.
