Went to an Italian restaurant tonight

Tweet

Hubby and I ended up going to the Italian restaurant I wanted to go to called Brioso. It was close to our house. The website said if you wanna dine indoors you have to make a reservation. When hubby called them they said to just come in between 8:30 pm and 9 pm. We got there around 8:30 and the guy told us that we have to come back after 9 pm. Good thing that we stuck around and didn't leave that instant because the guy called us back and seated us. When we came in the guy took our temperature and also made us fill out and sign a form with our names and phone number and there were boxes to check related to covid. I am not sure exactly what it said as hubby was filling the form out. We got a bottle of Italian Pinot Noir wine, one appetizer (rice ball stuffed with beef ragu, peas, and mozzarella), one salad (frisée lettuce, sweet corn, red beets, shaved ricotta salata), one soup (asparagus with croutons), and one entrée (thinly pounded breaded veal chop with tricolor salad), and a lemon meringue dessert. We shared everything. Hubby also got himself a single espresso. I wasn't thrilled about the rice ball appetizer but everything else was very delicious, including the wine. The bottle was $32 or $34. Don't remember exactly. The total came out to about $129 and hubby left a $30 tip. Had we gotten another entrée it would have been a much higher bill because entrées there are pretty pricey. The one we got was around $36. And we didn't even need another entrée because what we ordered was very filling. I didn't even have room for a cappuccino or another dessert. The restaurant interior was nice, it was a good atmosphere, and the food was delicious. I'd definitely come back here again.
