| - Hello Tusca! I was back again to visit my favorite tapas place in Pittsburgh. Once again, you didn't fail to make me smile. Ooooo, the blueberry martini, ooooo, the pear martini.....just for starters. No, my review isn't glowing because of the alcohol...I only had one and my dining companion had the other. Where to begin with the tempting choices before me? Okay, let's start with the hummus...yum! And because I can't eat wheat, you thoughtfully brought me wonderful veggies to dip luxuriously in the velvety dip. Next up to the table, the grilled veggie salad with hazelnut encrusted, creamy, delicate goat cheese and a marvelous dressing surrounded by grilled zucchini, red peppers, baby artichoke quarters, grilled grape tomatoes...mmmm-mmmm. Nice piquant accents against smooth and creamy all piled on top of beautifully fresh greens. And, oh the grilled shrimp with a citrusy glaze. Sweet, succulent, with a little bitter citrus to balance the sweetness. Perfect. My favorite of the afternoon, the best of the best, was the chicken breast stuffed with cheeses and artichokes and sundried tomatoes, wrapped in prosciutto so thin that when grilled it crisply became as one with the chicken. Heaven. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon, just grazing and lazing and enjoying good company over great food!
