La Vetta
20160825:
Having arrived late, there was plenty of food already on the table but much of it was cold, or in the case of the bruschetta, soggy.
Menu Descriptions:
Tomato Bruschetta // vine-ripened tomato, basil, pecorino ... 9
Terza Meatballs // ground beef, veal, herbs, red sauce ... 11
Chicken Meatballs // ground chicken, herbs, chilies, red sauce, pecorino ... 4ea
The mozzarella slice was solid.
I had a quarter of the chicken meatball and it was cold but had a nice basil taste.
The salami slice was okay.
We ordered some more meatballs and these non-chicken meatballs tasted strange. They were soft.
The fresh chicken meatball was much tastier.
Menu Descriptions:
Margherita // tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, olive oil ... 10
Soppressata // red sauce, cured salami, Terza cheese ... 11
Prosciutto and Fig // 600 day cured ham, dried mission figs, Terza cheese, olive oil, arugula 13
The fig slice was amazing!*
I have another prosciutto and fig slice, because the last one was left me wanting another. It's delicious despite being cold.
And eventually I ate another fig slice (it also happened to be the last).
For dessert we ordered one of each on the menu. The tiramisu was good. The chocolate cake was delicious; I thought it had fudge in it (but apparently not). The lemon dessert was too liquidy for me, but it had a nice lemony tart flavor.
Menu Descriptions:
Tiramisu // lady fingers, mascarpone, brandy, coffee, cocoa ... 5
Creme al Limone // lemon zest, cream, mint ... 5
Chocolate Almond Tortino // chocolate almond cake, chocolate mousse, ganache, Bailey's zabaglione ... 5
*So much so that I immediately reiterated the statement. "Oh my goodness... that fig [slice] was amazing. That slice was amazing."
