- Agree with your thoughts on bottle aged wine. Just finished up my birthday dinner. One of the bottles was a '95 Ch. Lascombes. It's been in my cellar (wine closet) for 10 years or so. Funny...

Sounds like a fortuitous find, Gabriella. The revuelto de boetus and roast suckling pig dishes, in particular, sounded great. You're making me wish I'd jumped the pond to come along.

you've gone and made me hungry and nostalgic. A great place and I'll happily take more of my friends and business visitors there again in future (just so I can get more of the lovely pig!)

I'm very jealous. First, Andrea gets to do her posting about the almost-suckling pig she ate, and now you're own marvel of a sucking pig. I feel like I'm being left out of the suckling pig loop and it sounds great every time. The description of the place sounds kind of magical. I have italian background and a lot of my favorite italian restaurants in the states are as you describe with that old 1800s, large ovens you can see, family run-feel. It's hard not to feel welcomed in those environments. Glad you landed that for the first dinner of the event, from the way it sounds, it's a keeper.
