| - I was pleasantly surprised to find such a classy old-world Italian eatery so close to home. La Stalla is in the heart of historic Downtown Chandler, kitty-corner to the San Marcos hotel.
Here's my recommendation for the perfect dinner, ala a night in Venice, without leaving the Valley:
Start with the Bocconcini al Prosciutto, prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella topped with mushrooms and breadcrums.
Contadino focaccia, with grilled eggplant, roasted peppers, with mozzarella, mesculine and tomatoes, drizzled with a balsamic olive oil dressing.
Penne alla Vodka, al dente penne pasta in a delicate vodka-cream sauce.
Finish off with fresh fruit zabaione or (maybe and?) chocolatte souffle. You'll have to allow an extra 10-15 minutes for the souffle, but it comes straight out of the oven.
Delizioso!
