L'Osteria Del Vignailo, Barolo



What follows is gratuitous food porn. If that runs against your moral sensibilities, go heat up a microwave burrito.



That's the view from our table, our bread basket, and the amuse bouche -- a beggar's purse stuffed with a blend of ricotta and gorgonzola.



Fried zucchini flower stuffed with ricotta, shredded asparagus and herbs.
Shaved artichoke crisped in brown butter over seared scallops.
Fresh asparagus blanched and grilled, over some sort of creamy deliciousness and topped with hard cheese.



Duck confit.
Lamb chops.


Molten chocolate cake.

If you are ever near Barolo, go to L'Osteria Del Vignailo.

I want everyone to know that it was not me who ate the chocolate cake.

Mom, I think we all know you couldn't let a cake that beautiful pass you by (I sure couldn't).! The whole meal looks staggeringly delicious. I'm glad you two are having a ball in Italy!
