"3"^^ . . "Marcellino and Sima are finally back after their yearly 1 month Italy vacation (re-opened September 10th)....and are we glad they are back! \n\nWe had a fabulous duo appetizer: fresh fig and prosciutto and the second was a filet (carpaccio) with shaved mushroom and black truffle! Delicious! I've always been a fan of prosciutto and melon, but the fresh fig was tremendous!\n\nMarcellino also brought us a fresh black truffle cream for his crusty bread, mmmm, amazing. I don't think you can get this anywhere (fresh), even here if you ask for it, but we were lucky to be in the right place at the right time!\n\nPasta duo was tortellini with even more truffles and a wild boar pappardelle. Best hand made pastas anywhere. Perfect!\n\nMain course was a perfectly cooked filet with his mashed potatoes and julienned vegetables...and more truffles! So right...so full! I'm so glad we had an hour spinning class before embarking on this journey!\n\nWe ended up skipping desert and had some left over to go! What a perfect Italian dinner paradise!\n\nWe can't wait to go back for opera night...and of course we are waiting for his next wine dinner. Best in the valley."^^ . . . "2009-09-11T00:00:00"^^ .
