Bar Italia

Beautiful lunch date with Mr.C. Second time in Bar Italia- last time was 2 years ago, but it seemed like it was only a few months ago. My great memory let me down though and I happened to order the same thing that I ordered last time- some wild mushroom, Italian, homemade egg fettuccine. The smell of it when it came to the table though, phrowarrrrrrrrr!! Smelly or what, worse than a sweaty man coming from an hour's run :P

Lunch didn't really come at a cheap price though, even when we ordered off the lunch menu. 2 starters and 2 mains for 40 euro. Thanks Mr.C :-*

2 bruchettas, a spicy salami, rocket pizza and my smelly socked wild mushroom fetty. 

The bruchettas- nothing compares to those tomatoes in there, isn't that right?? :P The starter came tastefully on a plate- with 2 olives on top of a basil leaf. Drizzled with 'superior category' extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar made it that extra special. The toasted bread, rubbed with garlic- pretty strong, luckily we both are immune to the smell :P was the perfect accompaniment to the fresh tomatoes, which had freshly torn basil leaves mixed into them. 

Mr.C's pizza was delicious. For the first time I think Mr.C had picked the better dish out of the two of us! The pizza base was so good, I was eating his leftover crusts! At one stage he had eaten the whole slice of the pizza including the crust, and I was like, where's the crust!... My pasta was just not to my taste buds liking, nor my nose's. Sticking to my usual button, shitake, enoki mushrooms from now on, wild- no good!
