Pecorino, saffron, salsa. $25
La Ciccia, San Francisco CA
This tasted good, but it wasn’t my favorite. The pork was a little dry and the sauce didn’t do much for me. The plate also looked kinda sad.
Chocolate chip cookies and water. Complimentary
Rome (FCO) to Genoa (GOA), Alitalia
This looked like a pretty sad snack offering, but it was a short flight. The mini cookies were pretty good.
Menu del dia, each €21.90 (with lobster supplemental)
Lizarran, Sitges SPAIN
This came in a huge bowl! It tasted really good, but the lobster was pretty tough to get at. I didn’t mind, but my dining partner didn’t want to get dirty. For me, I loved it!
Crispy fried cheese stuffed with carnitas, topped with salsa, cilantro, onions, avocado, and sour cream. $5
Sauteed shrimp topped with cabbage, sour cream, avocado, and fresh green tomatillo salsa. $4.50
Judie’s Tacos Locos, San Francisco CA
I liked both of these tacos, but the fried cheese taco was certainly different and very fun to eat. I enjoyed the crispy-gooey texture of the fried cheese and the carnitas were also flavorful. That’s not to say that the shrimp taco not tasty too. 🙂
Bellota cured ham, Iberian “chorizo”, and Iberian sausage. €14.90
La Taverna del Born, Barcelona SPAIN
I loved this charcuterie plate! The meats were all delicious, and there was plenty of it. I would order this again in a heartbeat.
Ferrari Spazio Bollicine, Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport (FCO)
This was really almond-y and on the dry side, but it tasted great with a cup of coffee.The crust could have been a tad thinner though.
Poached Maine lobster, bacon, lemon aioli, mixed greens salad. $27
Redd, Yountville CA
Wow, this sandwich was certainly decadent, and it tasted wonderful! I loved that the lobster wasn’t overdressed so it could really shine. Everything on the plate was plain delicious!
