We did decide to have our restaurant meal at lunch, after all. The Ca D'Frara is only a 3 minute walk from our apartment and it was easy enough to say that we had reserved for the evening but preferred to eat now. (Tutto in Italiano, naturalmente!) I had capallaci di Zucca--sort of a tortolini, but big, stuffed with pureed pumpkin and served with a cream and butter sauce and sage. Delizioso! Greg had the salami platter (cured meats are big here). For the second course, we shared a platter of grilled meat and vegetables--several around us were eating seafood and they looked happy, too.
We just woke up from our post-prandial siesta (how often do we get to use that expression?) and are going to take another walk soon. I've got soup in the refrigerator if we ever decide we're hungry again :)

I was wondering if you ate there after the last entry! Their menu looks devine, and your capallaci di Zucca sound delicious! I have never heard of combining pumpkin and sage before. Must try...
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, after checking out Ca D'Frara's (? does one use an apostrophe in Italian?) website, nothing in my full pantry or refrigerator looks good anymore. :) I will do olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing on a bit of salad for a little Italian feel....
