18 July 2007 - Sasso Rosso

Had dinner in this restaurant during an event before.. wanted to try it as a walk in customer.. so decided to pop by since i was in the neighbourhood..

The service is good.. and i enjoyed all my dishes except the "Bigoli all'anitra" which is a thick spagetti from the region of Veneto, cooked in duck broth and served with duck gizzard ragout in original Vicentina style. Yucks.... i hardly ate 2 bites.. but i asked my new found Italiano friend about it yesterday... and he said he likes this dish... I suppose it's something like Durian - it's an acquired taste..

The beef carpaccio, seared scallops and Parmigiana trio ( eggplant, zucchini, mushroom ) saved the day... we ended the meal with a warm dark chocolate flan and pannacotta and fresh plum poached in caramelised red wine..
