One thing I haven’t had the chance to do in a while is eat out at a good restaurant. I figure since I’ve already made several *more* recipes than one per day, I deserved a day to myself to do some research at Buca di Beppo. My friend Paul told me about a wonderful dish they had which we will be attempting to reproduce soon. Photos below.

Starting off with a tasty bruschetta

Paired with tasty chianti

And evidently Sunday is sample night? Peach bellini and sour apple martinis!

Seafood Cannelloni, shrimp and crab with a lobster sauce. Tasty. (though a bit strange after the first one…oddly…a bit heavy on an herb I couldn’t place)

Porcheta Rustica: The reason for the drive. This is what Paul and I will be trying to reproduce soon. Herb roasted pork loin topped with a red wine blueberry sauce with capers. Absolutely delicious.
So there’s the “research.” I hope to make one soon!
