| - We went to Terra Rosa for my birthday dinner and it was good times. The ambience is really nice there however, they really need to fix their air-conditioning.
Started with a nice variety of antipasto: olives that were buttery and delicious, marinated peppers, artichoke hearts, and some chunks of cheese that I forget the name of. All of it was good and we were pleased to have our appetites whet before the drinks came.
What we ordered... and our thoughts:
Drinks first.. they serve San Pellegrino and a flat water Panna there. However, if you don't want to pay for the bottles, just ask for iced water.
I had a French martini which was vodka, chambord and something pineapply which was good and strong which made me realise, there was something VERY wrong with their a/c because I was perspiring. And for dessert, a really kick my butt into outerspace limoncello aperitif.
Tortiglioni con Salsiccia: Delicious, although I didn't sample it personally, those who did gave the thumbs up.
Penne al Pesto: Tasty, but a bit dry..
Fettucine with chicken, mushrooms and a pink vodka sauce (was a special dish that night): Didn't try this, but everyone else who did said it was tasty and yummy
Dover Sole: My main entree - picked some stray bones out, but the filets were tender and moist. Sauce was yummy and spinach, yum.
Al Tartufo: Risotto which I recommended because wasn't that Heather's specialty? It was a bit tasteless... the truffles were a nice touch but we were thinking it was a bit bland. I usually really love risotto.
Tiramisu: lovely, but I think we liked the biscotti more. In fact, our waiter ended up bringing us a plateful to take with us!
Chocolate molten cake with vanilla gelato: rich, moist, gooey, delicious! The chocolate was ver' nice.
A cool (not literally) dining experience and I would definitely go back and try something new!!!
