we received a gift certificate for two 7-course dinners at the italian restaurant Genoa from our realtor as a thank you for using her to buy our house. we used it last night (sat). here's a summary of the menu:
1. antipasto: bruschetta with house made ricotta, topped with wild morel mushrooms
2. soup: spring soup made from young garlic shoots, potatos, and chicken stock with creme fraiche & chives
3. pasta: fresh egg pasta tossed with steamed manilla clams
4. salad: greens with balsamic vinaigrette
5. main: we both shared entrees of duck breast and veal
6. dessert: i had panna cotta and j had a boccone dolce
7. fresh fruit
i, personally, was full after the salad course, so we brought most of the main courses home. amazing food, but that many courses is sort of wasted on me, as i can never eat much.
