dinner at Osteria by Angie.
nice cozy 2 story restaurant, contemporary decor, good sized wine selection. great pasta.
their kitchen is open to the downstairs dining area.
started with a salad of romaine with parma ham and balsamic dressing.
platter of cured meats + cheeses. the pickled cauliflower pot is tart, a nice complement to the flavors.
ravioli of pumpkin and ricotta, with butter sage + truffle. SO GOOD. it was really rich, so the small portion was perfect.
pizza: just okay in my opinion. the crust was bland. not crunchy.. the flavors were also bland..
now, desserts, were amazing. their ice creams + sorbets are exceptional!
chocolate souffle cake with banana ice cream. yum.. there were chunks of fresh banana in the smooth light ice cream.. :D
panna cotta with berries + licorice, with coffee ice cream- the ice cream was sO coffee flavored, not too sweet or creamy, almost like a smooth granita.
pastas are really good, and the desserts alone are worth going back for.
