we took our house sitter and another friend to dinner when we got back from texas last week. it was a good dinner. i don't think there was anything new on the menu we hadn't had before so i won't bore you with a lot of talk.
prosecco and parmigiano reggiano
the bread plate
seared foie gras with nectarine, candied ginger and cocoa nibs
veal and chanterelle stuffed cipollini onion with spinach and parmesan fonduta
it's been a couple years since this was on the menu - before it had wagyu no spinach or mushrooms and i think i liked it a little better but this was still pretty good
house smoked salmon with pappa al pomodoro and toasted horseradish vinaigrette
billy allstot's heirloom tomatoes with ligurian olive oil and housemade ricotta
zuppa della sera
hand rolled trofie with basil, green beans and fingerling potatoes
the pasta is fantastic! the potatoes are new this rendition. matt says the beans were in it last time but i didn't remember them
rabbit braised in arneis with ligurian chickpea crepe, house made pancetta and porcini
chef special: wine braised pork cheeks, sweet corn, polenta stuffed zucchini blossom
i've never had better corn! and the cheeks were divine
squash blossom risotto
wines with dinner
dessert special was the chocolate trufle cake with peanut butter gelato and chocolate tuile
mascarpone goat cheese cake with nectarine thyme and almonds
YUM! it was super light and fluffy. there's something about these 'goat cheese puddings' i'm really into right now. ok, this isn't a pudding but the base is basically the same.
mignardies: chocolate hazlenut buttercream and salt bites
