Now for the salad. Last time here, we had an insalata di casa, or mixed greens with bacon, croutons and shaved Parmesan Reggiano. It had been drowned. And drowned greens are gross greens. It was salty, too.
Tonight is our lucky night.
The Mediterranean salad has feta cheese, Kalamata olives and thin strips of roasted red peppers among the crisp greens and just enough olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Things are looking up. But H.H. and I parted company when it came to the main course. He decided to go the fish route, and ordered Mediterranean style sea bass, while I'm going to stick with the program. There are eight family-style pastas on the menu, plus four more that are for singles or families.
