Before heading out for a birthday dinner, Mom and I had a
quick birthday lunch. As part of that lunch, I stopped at Ristorante Netti for
some cibo d’asporto (food to go). Netti makes some delicious trays of food and
then sells portions of it to go or dine in. Ristorante Netti also specializes
in pesce (fish). I saw when I went in there some calamari ripieno (stuffed
calamari) and it just looked tasty. It did not disappoint. The stuffing was essentially
bread, chopped tomatoes, spices and pieces of calamari tentacles.
Instead of birthday cake, I made it a day of desserts. We
had sfogliatelle, cannoli, and tiramisu throughout the day and evening.
