Grazie! Italian Eatery

Happy New Year!  Sarah and I decided to begin our celebration at Grazie.  I wanted wine.  I like dry; Sarah likes sweet.  I can handle the Riunite Lambrusco and thought it would be plenty sweet for her.  So we ordered a bottle.  Cheers!

I love bruschetta.  After the waitress corrected (ahem, I was correct!) my pronounciation, she brought it over.  There were pieces of toasted bread, a heap of chopped tomatoes, but where was the olive oil?  I asked, and she poured some into a dish for me.  So I spooned some tomatoes and then some oil onto the toast.  I definitely make better bruschetta at home.

Sarah and I both ordered the pappardelle -- fresh pasta, roasted chicken, mushrooms, garlic cream sauce.  It reminded me of a dish I had in Siena, although there it included truffles :)  I enjoyed it. 

Horror of horrors -- they were OUT of tiramisu?  What???  On New Years Eve, they were out of the best dessert by 9 or so?  How can that be? 

So, we ventured off into the night...  Brothers?  Jakes?  Both!
