Stopped by last weekend before seeing BETTE MIDLER & dinner couldn't have been more deeeelish
There were *tons* of waitstaff around to attend to our every whim - made sure we were breaded, watered & well fed
Started out w/ an Amuse Bouche of a Split-Pea Soupy thingamabob, in a little espresso cup - extremely tasty. Salads were the Melon & Fig salad (minus the prosciutto) - it was yummy but we were really kicking ourselves for not getting the Heirloom Tomato salad. Those maters were ginormous w/ thick slabs of fresh Mozz & it was just way too tempting!
Entrees for both consisted of the FARMERS' MARKET WHITE CORN AGNOLOTTI - Sweet & fresh off the cob caramelized Corn, Celery Leaves and Locatelli Pecorino Romano in this little, itty, bitty cheese filled pasta......both sis & I were literally mopping up ALL the left over sauce w/ our bread. Would probably have licked the plates had the room not been completely packed & there was a need for a modicum of decorum. Also - be sure to pair your pasta w/ their Merlot......it was fruity & light & not only completely complimented the Corn, but enhanced the flavor in the bestest way!
Dessert was the perfect topping to this most scrumptious meal - Assorted Cookies for sis & Pear Cobbler for me. Cookies were warm & gooey - freshly baked to the point we squeezed a cookie & schmoousche, out comes a globby bloop of chocolate. The Cobbler had this fluffy biscuit w/ Chai Ice Cream to surround the sauteed Pears & Huckleberries - paired w/ fresh Raspberries & Blueberries. Y - U - M!!
Can't wait to come back to Spago
