Our second visit to this Rustic Italian restaurant in Eastlake. Good food, extensive wine selection and lovely ambiance. Our waitress was attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu and wine list.
For appetizers, we had the Cozze Affumicati (Taylor Shellfish mussels simmered with smoked tomato, harissa, sweet vermouth, leeks, fresh herbs, and garlic) and the Insalata di Fagioli e Asparagi (Asparagus and white beans warmed with Trampetti extra virgin olive oil; served over Prosciutto di Parma with crispy parmesan frico.) Both were excellent.
For entree, I had the Coniglio Brasato (Braised Oregon rabbit legs served in a creamy five lily sauce with soft polenta and grilled asparagus) and Carol had the Salmon special. Mine was good, but I would have liked the rabbit to have been braised a little longer so the meat was really falling off the bone. Carol was only ok with the Salmon.
We paired our meal with this delicious Barbera:
