Took my buddy Ivon out for dinner at the newly opened Ristorante Sociale, partly because it was his birthday but mostly because I had a hankering for pasta.
We shared three plates….
And one more for good luck!
All four pasta were excellent but the consensus favorite was the Rigatoni.
For dessert, we split a tiramisu and a sticky toffee pudding. He preferred the former, I the latter.
After our meal, they came by with an Amaro cart. We were too full to imbibe (but, in retrospect, I guess that’s the point of the digestif), but it inspired me to pick up these two bottles today…
Any fans of amaro out there? What are your favorites?
Speaking of favorites, Akemi picked up these for me the other day…
The Truff is a surprising favorite. The other two are alt srirachas in the spirit of Huy Tung that has apparently become scarce since the manufacturer had a falling out with the pepper provider. They have gone their separate ways and are putting out their own versions of the sauce but, from what I hear, nothing beats the original – that no longer exists.
