of course...the menu
almost forgot...
At Ferrara, which had the most exciting menu I've seen yet, I started with a puree of fava beans and peas served with dollops of exquisite Amatriciana sauce -- tomatoes cooked to perfect concentration of their flavors with guanciale (sort of bacon made with hog jowls) -- and ricotta. Then I had veal liver with pancetta (more bacon!) and arugula. Mom had zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta, not mozzarella, and just sauteed, not deep-fried, followed by wild asparagus and lobster risotto. All of it was truly magnificent. Instead of dessert we each had a little glass of amaro made by somebody's grandmother's secret recipe... Not cheap, but so worth a splurge.

Lobster risotto? My mouth is literally watering as I type. I found a bus like that in Peru - always full of people, always travelling at high speeds through the neighborhood, never stopping. Perhaps it was the same one, and just has an extended route?
Three of this bus could fit in a NY subway car. And I was nearly run over by it again today! Damn number 125!!!
We'll have squid ink risotto in Venice, yum. I could eat squids and squids and squids all day every day.
