| Re: Italian restaurant eating! I eat out Italian a lot, though restuarant here may serve different food than they do there. I usually have antipasti - which includes things like raw vegetables, with a dip of virgin olive oil, goat cheese with oil, garlic and pepper, marinated mozzarella cubes in oil etc, and also bread which I just leave. My pretty standard main course is Osso Bucco, which is a veal dish, though some places dredge the veal with flour so you have to check about that. It comes with risotto, but I ask for a green undressed salad instead. Most italian restaurants here also do excellent soups, which are made without flour but with liberal amounts of cream, which are fine too.

| Re: Italian restaurant eating! Which restaurant are you going to? I've noticed a lot of them now have non pasta dishes like steak and chicken with roasted veggies. Fingers crossed that the one you're going to does! If not, I would probably get salad and maybe chicken alfredo or something and ask if I could substitute the pasta for something they may have that is legal. Let us know what you choose and Happy Birthday to you grandpa! |

| Re: Italian restaurant eating! Just got home & just in to time to watch the rest of the Giants game My grandpa was so suprised, we all had a good time. It was a "real" Italian restaurant in upstate NY called Bella Luna. I was suprised the food was so good (I am biased living in the Bronx where there are tons of good italian restaurants). For an appetizer I had antipasto & tomatoe, peppers & mozzarella. I had a garden salad and eggplant rollatini (Chris I guess me & you were on the same page) and red wine. Thanks for all your tips they were helpful!
