Italian, Local

To Pam, with Apologies 

After church on Sunday, Better Half and I went looking for a place to eat. He said he had been wanting to try a relatively new hole-in-the-wall Italian place on the edge of town. It turned out to be an experience worth repeating. You would like it, Pam. We hadn’t been there before, so never thought of it while you were here. Sorry. Come back again, and we will go.
Italians run it. A Nonna cooks. The ingredients are all imported from Italy.  And the flavors take you back there. 
It is a tiny place with four tables. As usual, it was empty when we went in, and as is the typical case, where Better Half goes, people flock, so it was full twice before we left. 







We heartily recommend the Primitivo. 


The sample platter: lasagna, Cannelloni, and stuffed pepper. 


Pinsa! Very good Pinsa.


Puffs. That isn’t blood - we shared nicely. It is raspberry sauce.



A shortbread-like filled tart, with hazelnut chocolate and cream inside. 



More samples: after Dinner Schnaps: bitters, herbal, and Limoncello. 
We went home with one bottle of each, and the wine, and fixings for our own Pinse. 
Come join us for dinner this week, if you wish.

  1. Wow, looks fabulous! A cozy experience and the kind of neighborhood place I would want to run myself if I were so inclined . I see they have a deli too! Where is this? The edge of which town?
