Ramona: Caesar salad, five-meat Tuscan pasta, iced tea
Jim: Caesar salad, Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti and marinara sauce, iced tea
To kick off our fifth anniversary weekend celebration, we opted for the restaurant where we had one of our very first dates.
The food was excellent -- isn't it always when a man dines with a goddess? Jim commented that the chicken parmigiana was particularly good, with a large piece of chicken and a generous helping of spaghetti.
Ramona tried a delicious new menu item, which was described as bowtie pasta, meat sauce, Italian sausage, bacon, ham, pepperoni, onions and green bell peppers. As usual, she ended up bringing almost half of it home.
We had dessert at home tonight -- Talenti Italian gelato, Argentine dulce tres leche. If you have never tried Talenti gelatos (available at HEB on Wooded acres), they have numerous outstanding varieties. White chocolate raspberry is our favorite, although this first experience with this flavor makes it a close second. Don't let the price deter you! The taste and texture are worth every penny.
-Jim
