rev:text	If you want traditional Italian dishes, fine wines, great service and delicious deserts this is the place for you. We had a great experience here. Everyone is super friendly. The food is awesome. We started with linguine and vongole then had pappardelle bolognse with mushrooms. Also amazing. And yes we could get those dishes back home BUT not as good as it was here. Then came the real treat. In the little restaurant across the street, more of a take out kind of place. There was a lot of action. So I went over to see what was going on. Right in front were three copper pot mixers with what looked like large balls of dough being mixed. But it was polenta. Under the bowls were burners and in the bowls were mixing blades like in a cement mixer. There were lots of people buzzing around the three bowls with a man with s large knife slicing into the ball of polenta and another man with a large wooden paddle pushing the ball around in the bowl all the while the mixing blades are going. Then there were the bosses, the women who were supervising to make sure the men didn't screw up. Lol. I'm watching this whole thing in awe. The one mixer saw me watching and gave me a piece of the cheese that was going into the polenta to try. It was delicious!! Then he pointed to a large bowl with about 10 lbs of the cheese in it and then a stack of about 20lbs of butter. He pointed to both and then the polenta. Although I didn't understand a single word he said the message was quite clear. All that butter and cheese was going into the polenta. Goodness gracious I thought how can that be. The volume of cheese and butter was almost more than the polenta!! Then a mob started gathering outside as the polenta was being finished after being continuously mixed, sliced, remixed with the wooden paddle, transferred from one mixing bowl to the next and cooked for 3 hours. It was ready to be served. It was polenta pandemonium. There was a mob for hours outside lining up to get their polenta. At that point our reservation was ready we sat outside on the street side of the upper terrace and we could see what was going on over at polenta central. The owner of Balicus who is the nicest guy came over and we were talking and he explained about the polenta. It's made only once a year for a charity event and you can't just buy it. You have to preorder it. And it is in very high demand, an understatement if there ever was one. You have no idea what was going on over there. Well after we finished our two courses of pasta a plate of polenta appears in the middle of our table. My jaw dropped. I looked at it and thought to my self it looks very dense. So my wife and I each took a forkful and once the polenta got into your mouth it changed from a dense dry looking compound to the most velvety delicious thing you ever ate. From that moment of conversion which by the way my wife and I reached at the same time it was a race to the end. I think I one won by a forkful. Lol I then scraped the plate clean and licked the forks clean. So far it's been the highlight of my trip to Italy. Then we had our entrees. I had the local lake perch. Never had perch before. It's a light and delicious fish. I highly recommend. My wife had the grilled prawns. Very fresh and delicious. We had also ordered a bowl of white beans with rosemary and red sauce. It was so good I would have eaten the whole bowl but just couldn't do it. Somehow we found room to eat some of the best chocolate cake ever and the owners mom's apple cake. We were beyond full but it was so good we just kept eating. We couldn't finish it all no matter how hard we tried I had a glass of Corsatto wine with my cake it's an expensive glass of wine but it was Devine! And worth every Euro!! Well I had the wife pay the bill cause I couldn't sit any longer. I had to get up and walk outside. I thought I was going to explode. I had to move around. I think the polenta was expanding and my body was trying to metabolize all that food and was generating lots of heat. I was sweating big time all of a sudden. Thankfully a walk along the lake and a glass of fine Grappa at Serbelloni settled me Not planning on breakfast or lunch today. Would I go back and do it again? You betcha!!
