I visited Lisa G's some weeks ago with a couple of cool chicks. I was excited to finally be going to have dinner there as I had heard so much about the place, I had been dying to try it myself. We arrived to Lisa's "house" and I was surprised at the simple but elegant decor. We waved a hello to Lisa who was behind the bar and were greeted by our waitress. Ah.. our waitress. I usually like to engage whomever is serving us and get their thoughts on food and wine. Our waitress seemed disinterested in any of that. In fact when we asked what a certain red table wine was a blend of she just replied "I don't know." She should have said "Let me go find out." Oh well, minor detail, but that stuff irritates me.
We perused the simple and small menu. OF COURSE I had to have a bowl of balls! Oh my gosh... the balls...were just....so tasty! The dish came covered with PLENTY of sauce on top, a slice of bread, and a slice of parm that just crumbled over the balls. Want to make me wag my imaginary tail? Make a simple dish, but make it VERY well. I was delighted that such a seemingly simple dish such as the bowl of balls brought so much flavor to the table with good quality ingredients. The fantastic food made me forget out lackluster waitress. That's key!
I will definitely be back to Lisa G's to try her other dishes....or maybe just have another bowl of balls!
