By far, the best place I've eaten in a long while is Bottega. We shared a yummy tuna appetizer, and I had this: Potato dough Raviolo filled with spinach & ricotta, black truffles, farm fresh egg yolk, sage browned butter. OMG was that wonderful. Wow. Steve had this: Adriatic Seafood Brodetto monkfish, mussels, rock cod & fresh Monterey calamari, forno-confit tomato broth, olive oil-crouton, paprika-saffron rouille. Then we had the tiramisu: Tiramisu & sponge cake gelato “Cocoa puff”, chocolate sauce. With the tasty parmesan olive oil dip, it was by far the best meal I've had in a while.
Angele was a disappointment. We had some Ken Wright wines which were just okay. The arugula salad with homemade cheese and plums was decent, as was the starter course of a chilled pea soup with cilantro. The risotto entree was okay, though maybe I should have gotten the pork just because of the potato. The desserts of rice pudding and the berry one were much better. A B, maybe even a B-minus. Just good, not great.
We stopped at Trefethen, St. Supery, and Darioush..
Phoenix was good too, though I'm tired for the travel...Virgin was once again great going back. On a lame Delta flight, I did see Just Go With It. A trashy movie but entertaining with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler.
