| - The thing I most appreciate about real Italian food is the way they do veggies.
Nothing like we do in Canada --a third of the plate meat, one third potato, and one-third limp veggies.
In Italian places, veggies are at the center of the plate, as in the sauce smothering the pasta.
At Paul's, they may as well list the veggies under dessert.
We went there with my mother-in-law , who has a hard time eating a full meal. My wife and I had gorged last night, so we wanted to eat lightly too. So we ordered four appetizers for the table.
Two orders of Caprese salad, tomato and buffalo mozzarello cheese. Where do they find tomatoes this fresh!
Grilled calamari, and I don't mean little bits of calamari but entire strips, served with a warm relish. We had to order seconds of bread to wipe it all up!
Rapini with thin slices of parmigiano and pine nuts all over-- who can believe greens as the piece de resistance!!
Enjoy this with a glass of wine, and three people can eat gourmet for about $50.
Find someone who's just been ordered by the doc to cut back on meat and eat way more veggies, and feels like that kind of medicine is worse than a death sentence, and bring them here. It will change their life!!
