Food Style? Italian

The sun has set, producing some beautiful colours in the sky over the water. A view by the lakeside, a romantic candle (for myself) and a glass of the house white. This is the life. I am having a good time.

Primo Piatto


Spaghetti ai Fruitti di Mare - spaghetti with mixed seafood
I've ordered the spaghetti with mixed seafood and wow it hits the spot. A rich tomato base with lots of fresh herbs and olive oil, and above all, a great selection of seafood: mussels, clams, octopus, squid, fish, shrimp and scallops. The shrimp is slightly overdone but I'm willing to let it slide because the rest of the dish is delicious. Any leftover sauce is greedily devoured with the bread on the side.

Dessert


Panna Cotta al Caramello
I had an orange yogurt gelato before dinner but that isn't stopping me from having another Italian classic dessert - panna cotta with caramel sauce. The all-important test of a good panna cotta is to jiggle the plate; if it jiggles with the plate and doesn't break, it's good. Mine is molto bene - very good!
