Bacio Revisited

On Saturday, March 1, we wanted to go out for dinner. We couldn't get into Nunzio's or Ted's on Main, so we were able to get into Bacio (which both Jay & Ken really wanted to visit). We were not disappointed even though the restaurant quickly became packed.

Of course they brought toasted bread and focaccia with their three famous spreads: olive, hot peppers and eggplant.

Appetizers:
Ken - Prosciutto and Fontina Cigars - crispy prosciutto di Parma and fontina “cigars” with marinated artichoke and Roma tomato salad
Jay - "Crispelle della Nonna" - Italian crepes stuffed with jumbo lump
crabmeat, spinach and artichokes, baked in a gorgonzola cream sauce - yummy!

Entrees:
Ken - "Osso Buco alla Milanese" - double cut veal shank slowly simmered in red wine with fresh herbs and vegetables, served over saffron risotto - come hungry because it's HUGE
Jay - swordfish special - with orzo and vegetables - delicious

Wines enjoyed:
2003 La Crema Pinot Noir
2004 Di Maio Norante Sangiovese

Too full for dessert even though Jay wanted the gelato [sigh]

We will return.
