While the lasagna looks good, we found it on the bland side. With a little salt, the homemade spinach pasta (at least it looks homemade!) and the chunky vegetables would be more flavorful.

While this dish is cold, it’s a definite winner! Love the big chunks of lobster. The creamy mayo sauce with onions and shallots is very good — with a possible horseradish flavor.

Creamy goodness! The limoncello panna cotta is not jello-like or rubbery. It’s fantastic!

Italy has been busy introducing more beers to its restaurants and kiosks. Try a sampling by ordering the Beer Flight. The lightest brew has the flavor of a medium bodied beer. There’s notes of honey in the second beer. The third beer has floral and fruit in it and while full bodied, it’s not sweet!
