Erbazzone Reggiano

Erbazzone Reggiano

This appetizer was kind of like a spinach and cheese quiche. The pastry was soft and flaky. The filling had a nice flavor from the cheese.

Gramigna

The pasta was simple but delicious. The sausage in the sauce gave it a lot of flavor. The pasta was really fresh and delicious, and I loved the multi-colored pasta.

Italian Hot Chocolate

Italian Hot Chocolate

The Italian hot chocolate was so thick it was like a warm chocolate pudding. It was small, but very rich.

Pollo Cacciatore

Pollo Cacciatore

I was a bit disappointed in the chicken cacciatore. The dish seemed to have a lot of cheese in it, and that gave it a very heavy feel. The chicken was a mix of white and dark meat, and the way it was cut seemed unusual.

Stricchettoni

Stricchettoni

The Stricchettoni was a fairly plain fresh pasta served in a mushroom sauce. There were also a couple small pieces of tomatoes, but otherwise the dish was just pasta with mushrooms. It tasted pretty good, and mostly had the strong taste of wild mushrooms.
