Last night I had the pleasure of being snowed in with some friends who were in town for the holidays!
With flights back to Denver cancelled an impromptu visit from Laura and Craig prompted a cozy dinner at the always lovely Florentine Café.
A few glasses of red wine deep at this point, I decided to sip on a Peroni ($5)
We shared a couple of appetizers and each enjoyed a classic Italian entrée.
Caprese Salad ($9) Red & yellow vine ripe tomatoes with fresh mozzarella, basil, aged balsamic vinegar & extra virgin olive oil.
Prosciutto E Pear ($13) Parma Prosciutto with caramelized pear, olive oil, age balsamic & goat cheese side of toast.
Tagliatelle al la Bolognese ($23) Egg Tagliatelle tossed with veal tenderloin, ground beef, ground pork, onions, bacon, carrots, celery, basil, in a garlic white wine tomato sauce.
Florentine Café provided a welcome respite from the cold snowy neighborhood with gracious hospitality and good Italian food. Inside the European bistro with fresco painted walls and white linen tablecloths, tastefully decorated wood paneled windows showcased views of the snow falling on Hanover Street. A cozy space to enjoy the company of friends, we left satisfied and full.
We certainly enjoyed the snowstorm! If you are local, I hope you did too whether it was spent outside or in.333 Hanover Street

i was gonna say but then you ended up admitting it, that it is easy to say how pretty a snowstorm is when you dont actually have to DRIVE in it!! i'm such a naysayer, i should probably be kicked out of New England because i HATE the snow!
ReplyDeleteglad you four had a great dinner at florentine!
So much snow! All I have is sunshine and blue skies in Florida. Lovely photos, I hope you had a great Christmas!

holy effing snow storm.
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying a lazy snowed in day! Have a safe commute home!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics of the North End! You are such a trooper! I kinda want some of that pasta bolognese right now... ;) Hope you're staying warm today!
ReplyDeleteThe city looks so pretty in the snow! So fun you got to hang out with Craig and Laura, we had Trays cousin here last night..he was supposed to be flying to Paris! Even though I had to dig my car out of snow (looked like the pics you have), I sill enjoyed the storm!
ReplyDeleteWow, those snow pictures are what dreams are made of. I'd die to look outside my window and see that. Sadly, that will never happen in San Diego.

ReplyDeleteYour pictures look great. We got almost 3 feet where I live!
Love your snowy photos!! You're also totally reminding me that I don't get to the North End enough. I'm totally craving some Italian food now!! The prosciutto looks amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteSues
I haven't left the house in two days! Jealous you live in the city and don't have to shovel your driveway for three hours... (wait who am I kidding.. Dave does that not me!)
ReplyDeletecannot believe all the snow we got! luckily, my offices closes this week so i didnt have to deal. digging my car out was not fun though- i have more to do tomorrow.
ReplyDeletehope you had a merry holiday!
What pretty photos - I have to admit I'm not super upset we're in Florida right now and missing the snow though :) Glad you had such a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THE PICS!!! And, i am so jealous of the snowstorm!! I'm from the Midwest and miss the snow terribly down here in the South! Boo. Love that you went to work and took pics the whole way!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures of the snow! Looks like you made a great and fun evening out of the Blizzard of 2010! That tagliatelle looks unreal!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was a wonderful snow day for you! I called in a snow day and spent the day drinking mimosas and playing Wii!
ReplyDeleteI love your positive feelings towards the snow, it actually made me feel better about coming back to boston after missing the whole storm. I'm glad you got to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had so much fun tromping through the snow. I love that you stopped to take pictures along the way. I hid inside for the most part. We were supposed to go to NYC but the trains weren't running. Boo.
