Il Vlllaggio

This month's 3-hour lunch today with Karin and George brought us back to Il Villaggio, 211 Haddonfield-Berlin Road, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034, 856-795-1778.

Ask for Herman - he's one of the BEST!!!!!


We made reservations by the fire:


Nice warm, crusty bread with ricotta cheese and pepper spread:



We shared appetizers:

Broccoli rabe & sausage (sauteed in roasted garlic olive oil, cannellini beans) - Ken devoured this - we didn't stand a chance!


Oysters Casino special (the pancetta made it extra special!), with balsamic reduction.


George and Jay love oysters - these were so fresh!


Grilled calamari - done to perfection!


Entrees:

Ken and George each devoured the veal saltimbucca with angel hair pasta. They prefer the demi glace:


Karin loved the pork ragout special, with homemade pappardelle, which she couldn't finish, but George will enjoy for dinner:





Jay wanted something light, so she enjoyed the Arugula Shrimp and Scallop Salad, with roasted red peppers, goat cheese, and almonds. It was amazing!:





Great times with extra special people!



Wines enjoyed:






We ended the meal with a shared creme brulee cheesecake. George and Ken had coffee as well:
