Food, Music, and Travel are the keys to my heart
Food so GOOD.. that it’s absolutely wrong for it to be so perfect every time I dine here. Haha @fiorefinefoods
The lineup from sweet to savory to refreshing. The dessert will truly make you want to cry with delight
Until I get to return to Italy.. Justine, Ed, & Gina (all trained in Italy and have impeccable NYC resumes) @fiorefinefoods provide just the right dose of absolutely amazing Italian food.
Buon Appetito
And my cocktail, as I’m feeling optimistic that warm weather is near was the Frizzante for me it’s “sunshine in a glass”
Which absolutely from the 1st sip took me back to my time on the Amalfi Coast.. not believing that I was there and thinking how lucky I am.
Pasta- just like I’ve had in Italy
- Potato Gnocchi in a light porcini butter and thyme sauce!!
~These gnocchis literally evaporate when they touch your tongue. They are so light and perfetto!!!
~A true sign of homemade gnocchi is that every one is not perfectly round. This like all of their dishes is fresh made each day.
Casonecelli - for me it reminds me of thanksgiving wrapped in a beautiful perfectly al dente handkerchief. A creamy sweet potato filled pasta with sage and balsamico.
Cheese - this presentation of Parmigiana Reggiano with gnocchi fritto( pillow like hollow puffs) with aceto balsamico. Is not only tasty but fun to eat. Break open one of the frittos, take a piece of cheese.. smear it in the balsamico and tuck it inside the slightly warm puff. Wow! It reminded me of a perfect mini grilled cheese sandwich. This cheese plate clearly represents all things good from Modena.
Torta Caprese al Limone super light campari citrus cake with a toasted almond gelato and marcona almond pieces.. absolutely one of the BEST desserts I ever had.
Milk Chocolate Budino a brown sugar plum cake with red wine caramel
