I've been wanting to go this Aperto for a while. Every time I pass it I always want to be on the inside and not on the outside. This is an Italian restaurant with a homey feel to it. But really, what Italian restaurant doesn't have a home feel to it? Even Bucca di Beppo has a homey feel to it. We came here with another couple and it's really perfect for 4 people, maybe 6 max. The table by the bay window in the front is where I wanted to be since it has a great street view, but there were 4 old women that were parked there forever and I was hungry.
We were indecisive about a wine selection, so the manager gave us a tasting of a couple red wines. WTF? How great is that? You really don't get that kind of kindness and food service any more.
Portobello Mushroom: Special appetizer of the day and I love portobello mushrooms. It's so beefy, like my man. HAHA.
Orecchiette w/Lamb Sausage: I LOOOVE lamb. I really do. Gamey ground lamb sauteed to perfection. Herbs & spices are lovely. I felt like Homer Simpson drooling over beer. I gave some of my entree to Mr. Belly Jiggle and one of the our friends, but really it was out of manners that I did so. I didn't want to share and I wanted to be a fat selfish pig who ate it all.
Chocolate Tart: WTF was this? The waitress raved about it, but it really was not that great. She said that it was dense and reeeeallly good. So we took her word for it. When she said dense I thought she means dense like a torte. No...it was dense like a cookie. Really, the only thing wonderful about it was the freshly whipped whip cream. One of our friends can't stand whipped cream. What a weirdo...more for me.
