| - Well ... the darling Orchid was shopping at Charming Charlie's here at Tivoli Village, so it was time to go get a drink and some Wi-Fi time. So ... iced tea at Leone.
While I was killing time, my darling phoned and said she was finished. I asked her if she was either hungry or thirsty. (She's almost always thirsty; the medications she takes tend to dry out her mouth.) She said she was hungry, so I went and walked her down.
(DISCLAIMER - IN THE INTEREST OF FULL DISCLOSURE, I WILL MENTION THAT THIS WOULD BE THE SECOND TIME THAT SHE AND I HAD BEEN THERE FOR FOOD.)
The last time we ate there, she had the lasagna and I had a sandwich - which 'wich (sorry ... couldn't resist) I have forgotten. My sandwich was as good as I expected for this price point. Her lasagna was HUGE I ended up with about half of it. This time, I intended to have the lasagna. When we arrived, we saw on the counter, just being picked up by the server, a salad of some kind with a mound of yellow something-I-couldn't-identify beside it on the plate. Inquiry - it was a more-or-less deconstructed egg salad sandwich. The egg salad was dished out on the plate, and the veggies that normally went into the sandwich were replaced with a small portion of their house salad mix. (Note that this preparation is not on the menu, but of you ask really nicely - "please, please, oh PLEEZE" - they'll make it that way for you.)
So ... here comes the food. My lasagna was, once again, HUGE. A truly massive portion of meat,. cheese, eggplant with traditional noodles, having been oven-fired at some time, where the crispy-almost-burnt pasta made its appearance. (That's one of my favorite parts, kinda like the lasagna equivalent of barbeque burnt ends.) Orchid's egg salad "salad" was, to her and my taste, quite nice. I am not a big egg salad fan, but I would order this myself. They have unlimited iced tea refills, but they have no soda fountain, so you order soft drinks by the bottle - you want more, you pay for more ... which is about the only knock I have on the place.
The manager, a delightful fellow named Jonathan, came by a couple of times to ask how we were doing. One of the servers, a fellow who looked to be about 22 or 23, whose name I didn't catch, also came by a couple of times to inquire, and engage in a moment or two of conversation. Very attentive all the way around. Orchid and I will certainly be back.
