Ciao Vito
Dinner at Ciao Vito on Alberta Street in Portland with Don and Liz:
Liz and Bob
Me and Don
"Crispy polenta with your kitchen garden spinach/pine nuts/breadcrumbs and reggiano parmigiano" we shared two first courses.
"Roasted beets and Black splendor plum salad/ warm baked goat cheese with pine nuts and herbs/ thyme oil/vermouth vinegar/ spiced hazelnuts from Steenson Farms"
Did Robert get clams AGAIN?
They said it would be huge, but Liz ordered it anyway (she did take half home). Grilled 15 oz. Carlton Farms pork chop/ fresh sweet corn and whole grain polenta/ pancetta/ torpedo onion and corn salsa/ pork jus
Polenta con sugo piccante di maiale e peperoni (This is the house specialty) Tails and trotters pork/ spicy peppers/ tomato/ porcini mushrooms/ crispy polenta/ breadcrumbs/ parmigiano. Don and I each ordered this. Can't say I would recommend it, however.
All four of us shared this large berry crisp.
