Foodtopia Moments
While debating what to cook today, Mom suggested going out
for pranzo (lunch). So far this trip, the only time I’ve eaten out for lunch is
when I was in Rome, so the idea was different than the norm. We decided to stay
local, and go to, where else, but Ristorante Netti. This time we vowed not to
get pizza. We each started with bruschetta. Mom ordered tagliatelle alla
Bolognese and a chicken cutlet. I went the seafood route with a plate of cozze
(mussels) in white wine sauce, which followed an order of tielle Barese. The
tielle Barese was a mix of risotto, potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes and mussels
all baked together in the forno (oven) until it was a perfect blend of flavors.
