Yesterday was a farewell for YC, so we decided to take her to Trattoria La Siciliana in Berkeley - one of the top Italian restaurant in US.We made reservations but we still had to wait a good half an hour before we're being seated. The place is very small and quaint, good thing there were 3 of us, if not, you'll be stuck by the window with a tiny table and be 'observed' by the passer-bys.
It was a beautiful Friday night but my brain was completely fried after class. I couldn't focus on the menu and let the Maestro do all the ordering.
We ordered the Fresh heirloom tomato marinated in garlic, basil, olive oil topped with mozzarella, Butternutsquash, Scampi Rissoto, and Beef Ragu Pasta.
One struck me as really really good was the Beef Ragu Pasta, not the beef, but the flavour of the sauce and the fresh pasta. That is something I could eat more. Also the risotto in the scampi. It was supposed to be a quite pricey place and a CASH only restaurant. Can you imagine carrying so much cash just to have dinner? Crazy - for the American credit card standard.
Next time, I'll do the ordering! :)
