Il Poggiolo.

Nora and I went tonight. I love this restaurant. We split the cheese plate and started with one bleu cheese-stuffed, super-chilled Grey Goose dirty martini ($9 on special) and then split a bottle of Barbera for $38. This cheese plate was fantastic: a non-bleu bleu, hard parmesan, and some other third delish cheese, honey, quince, and something else on top... Three shaved meats including proscuitto, a spicy "C" salami* and ___,* melon, pear, figs, dates, grapes, grapefruit. Fresh capers and olives. And a basket of 2 types of fresh bread, a plate of olive oil and cheese. Amazing. Loved. Smells coming from the open kitchen – unbelievable.

*I know these... need to commit them to memory though!
