Tonight we invade Caffe Caruso to celebrate my cousin Felisse's 21st birthday
The celebrant requested everybody to come in floral prints.
Because the baby is now a lady, she is allowed to wear sexy dresses such as this :P
Wood fired breads. So warm and pillowy!
We start with two healthy and delicious appies...
Octopus carpaccio with potato in lemon
Rolled crepe stuffed with porcini mushroom from Piemonte region
And then the carb-loading begins!
Homemade tagliolini with salmon and caviar
Pasta a la norma - rigatoni pasta with fresh tomato, eggplant and ricotta cheese
Spaghetti al nero de seppia - spaghetti with special black sauce
Spaghetti allo polpo di Granchio - spaghetti with crab meat sauce
Spaghetti allo scoglio - spaghetti with fresh seafood in spicy tomato sauce
Risotto ai funghi porcini
Argula Pizza - tomato, mozzarella, arugula
Capricciosa - tomato, artichokes, ham, mozzarella
