| - My fault for not making reservations and requesting my friend Nick to be our waiter. However, nothing is like a night out on the town dressed up with Blair B., her husband Mike B., and Eric R.! We each brought restaurant.com coupons, and ended up using the $50 off $100 (what a deal!) The coupon includes alcohol.
Mike B. proudly picked the wine with his wine app, so I said we would go with it. It was okay, but since Blair already said it wasn't her favorite, I will go ahead and agree (I am not much for red wine but did it for my heart, baby!)
We started off with complementary bruschetta, bread and olive oil/basalmic, and the wine. Gaetano himself gave us the specials, and there were like 42 of them. Our waiter finally reviewed them with us (though a few were sold out) and we were more confused (the menu is already big as it is). I ended up getting the butternut squash ravioli with sage and brown butter, and magnificent it was! The beef carpaccio appetizer was also delicious and at least I can say our waters were refilled rapidly. Eric R. ordered a veal dish as his main and a half order of the special risotto of the day, bay scallop and shiitake. It was outstanding and I couldn't stop eating it.
To top it off, my friend Nick sent over via our waiter complementary "house cappucinos" which were essentially hot bittersweet chocolate with 3ish liqueurs and topped with whipped cream. Eric R. was skeptical because he hates coffee and when he tried it, he was relieved. YUM!
