Continuing with Fig Goes Sig (and Food & Wine)
Via Napoli (lunch, 10/31/11 - Happy Halloween!)
Appetizers
Fritto Misto (calamari, fried cheese, arancini, fried veggies) - so yummy! Figment really liked the calamari and the arancini. The cheese flavor wasn't as strong, so he liked the arancini better at Via Napoli than at Citricos. The portion on the platter could easily serve more than two.
Prosciutto e Melone - very similiar to the one Figment had at Tutto Italia, but it was a smaller portion. Still, Figment loves proscuitto, so this appetizers was rigth up his alley.
Entrees
Prosciutto e Melone - Figment liked the combination of proscuitto and melon on the pizza
Frutti de Mare - Figment really likes Via Napoli's sea food pasta!
Candele - Reminded Figment of lasgana, but with little candlestick pasta
Desserts
Coppa di Brutti Ma Buoni - Fancy ice cream sundae! Figment really liked this sundae, but the Amarena cherries were a little strong for him.
Gelato Frizzante - Figment wasn't to sure about this dessert. He liked the ice cream, but wasn't too fond of the soda. It was better when the ice cream melted into the soda, but he'd rather have the Coppa di Brutti Ma Buoni.
California Grill (dinner, 10/31/11)
Mickey confetti - Figment was very excited to find the table had Mickey confetti scattered on top of it! He carefully collected up all of the confetti, put it in a little baggie and brought it home!
Appetizers
Dungeness Crab Stack - Figment liked all of the crab meat!
California Roll - it was a traditional CA roll; good flavor, but nothing remarkable
Spicy Kazan Roll - Figment really liked the sushi, but the fireball sauce was HOT! He had to carefully scrape it off the sushi (luckily it was only in the middle of the plate and not actually inside the roll).
Entrees
Wild Pacific Salmon
Florida Snapper - Figment liked the snapper and risotto
Oak-fired Filet of Beef - the server recommended the filet, so Figment decided to try it. It was cooked perfectly and tasted great!
Desserts
Gianduja Mousse with Cocoa Nib Tuile - Chocolate...Yum!
S'Mores Valrhona Chocolate Cake - Figment liked the grown-up take on s'mores. The chocolate cake was really good!
Bananas and Caramel
We're coming near to the end of Fig Goes Sig, but next time...Snacks and then on to Food & Wine!
