You just reminded me that I have some feta in my fridge that I should pick up some watermelon to pair it with. Yum!

I would be curious to see your impression on a non blogger dinner meal. Maybe the times we have gone to tavolo were just off nights! Looks like fun!

I love swordfish - a big fillet can be a bit too much (too meaty, maybe?) but that serving size looks perfect! I love that you got to try so many different things too! Also bread + wine to start = perfect. That place looks so good! I love swordfish – a big fillet can be a bit too much (too meaty, maybe?) but that serving size looks perfect!

But your comment about how the restaurant "...seized the opportunity to showcase some of their non-Italian dishes" threw me off a bit. You're right: what you were served does not reflect the American-Italian food tradition of pizza and pasta. But actually, most of the dishes you were served are pretty typically "Italian": swordfish involtini, meatballs, duck, farro, etc. These are precisely the kind dishes a lucky traveler finds after escaping the tourist traps placed near the Spanish Steps or the Duomo. It's exciting to see this aspect of the Italian culinary tradition spread in the US! Nice – looks like you all enjoyed a nice evening!
