Dinner At "The Rock"

Last night we went to La Roccia (The Rock) for dinner with Gianni and Consiglia...as always it was an eating event....


We started with the seafood antipasti - Steamed mussels and clams, octopus salad, pickled salmon, fried seaweed dough balls (sounds weird, but they are yummy!!), mini fried squid and fried sardines.

Of course the hearty, crusty, tough as nails, break your teeth, give your jaw muscles a work out, delicious bread....

Pasta with eggplant, tomatoes, sausage and mozzerella...

Vino all around...

After dinner Amaro...

And the best for last! Yummmm! This place has the best gelato around!
But they sell plenty of other goodies too!
We all got a scoop of "Cassata" which as far as we can tell is a cream with chunks of candied orange with a touch of cinnamon...Yummmmmmmy!
There is something about eating ice cream (gelato) at 1130 at night that just brings out the kid in everyone!
Perfect ending!
