Sweet Jesus - Mike and I had an unbelievable anniversary dinner on Friday.
Long being fans of Lidia Bastianich, Mike and I decided to try Becco, one of her restaurants here on Restaurant Row.
It was the most wonderful dining experience I've ever had: the food was hearty, sumptuous and delicious, the wine was divine, and the service was unlike anything I've ever experienced.
The waiter and assistant sommelier who assisted us were personable, warm, and treated us like family. And they brought out a wonderful surprise at the end of our meal to help celebrate the occasion with us: a Torte di Zabaglione e Cioccolato (Chocolate mousse cake), Zabaglione con Marsala di Florio (freshly whipped Italian custard with seasonal fruit), and Gelati Misti (Mixed house-made gelati) accompanied by two flutes of Moscato!
While we won't be able to afford the type of meal we had on Friday night (wine from the RESERVE list, people!), they do have a wonderful pasta deal and a $25 wine list that we're dying to try.
If you haven't already been, then please treat yourselves to a meal at Becco. And let us know how you liked it!
