Even though the trip down to the marina meant another trip back up to our apartment, it was worth every step. Even Charmelle felt that way and she was working hard up and down on crutches. From upper left and going clock-wise, here is what we ordered.
Charmelle and I shared our dishes, she wanted pasta so we thought we should go for something that was not pasta for mine. So I went with the mixed grilled fish. I'm not sure what species the actual fish was, I think it might have been red fish, but I'm not sure. All that really mattered was it was yummy. Then there was octopus. Yes, fresh octopus on the grill is a buttery delight. Then the were prawns done with some different spices and finally a lobster tail. Fantastic treat.
Charmelle went with black linguini with squid ink (I know sounds a bit scary, but was great)! It also had some fresh clams. There was a light garlic and olive oil sauce. It was excellent.
JJ had a traditional pasta with red sauce that was outstanding. Simple, fresh, and wonder are words that come to mind. Jo had a pesto dish that ruined any future pesto dishes. All of us fell in love with it and we're trying to figure out what we needed to do to make pesto this good. The answer is simple, move to Cinque Terre!
Of course we also enjoyed a couple of bottles of fine local wine. One red and one white and they we a hit too. All we can do now is think about tomorrow's dinner!
