Vessia

Went with Lisa, John, and Emmy for St. Valentine’s Day. Steadman had given me a gift certificate for watching his mail. It was a very nice night–lots of fun and games. The food was medium. I had MOZZARELLA ALLA GENOVESE which was excellent–great cheese, fresh tomato, & really good pesto–there was a lot of pepper, but not too much oil. A really good dish. DELLA CASA salad was odd and bitter. Not very good at all. For my main course I had MELANZANE ALLA PARMIGIANA & RAPINI (Broccoli rabe sauté with garlic and olive oil)–the eggplant was awesome–very thinly sliced and really good. The Broccoli was a little over cooked, too much oil, not enough salt, the garlic could have used some work–server a little cold, not that great. But the eggplant was so good I did not notice.

Lisa had PASTA ALLA CHECCA which was good, but not amazing. Emmy had RIGATONI CON BROCCOLI which had really good onions & was kind of sweat. John did the blackened Ahi special–which was raw in the middle.

The Deserts were great–banana chocolate cake, tiramisu cake, and chocolate covered hazelnut chocolate thing. All very fine–I liked the chocolate covered hazelnut thing the best, but it was all good.

Service was fantastic.

A great Valentines night was had.
