Pre Dinner Cocktail
Girlfriends and I kicked off a 5 stop Saturday night tour-de-north-end at Ristorante Fiore. We caught up over martinis at the sparkling granite bar where I sipped one of their specialties made with a sturdy amount of gin, fresh muddled basil and lime. It was equal parts herbal and refreshing, but mostly it was strong. Really strong. As we progressed to the next location, I was already feeling buzzed, not to mention ready to fill my empty stomach with some of the North Ends finest cuisine. And especially to be spending time with some of my favorite ladies.
Stay tuned this week for a new post on the progressive dinner each day!Read about a previous visit to Fiore (the roof deck) here.
I had so much fun on Saturday. My limoncello martini definitely got me going for the evening as well!
