Casa Vinitalia (カーザ・ヴィニタリア)

今回はアラカルトで。前菜:(メモなし)揚げた白子は外が香ばしくて、中はクリーミーで、すごく美味しい~。1100円。

秋トリュフのタリアテッレ。印象薄いかも。2400円。
十穀米とフォアグラを詰めた鶉のロースト。今回はこのメインを食べに来たんだが、期待を裏切らない美味しさだった。一匹(3600円)を2人でシェア。(1人1匹にすればよかった、、、。)

051208 043.jpgメインにつく野菜はエリンギみたいな茸を選択。シンプルパスタは、トマトソースの100gで、、、2000円。チーズ、アーリオ、トマトの3種類も味見したところ、トマトソースが一番好きかも。デザートはティラミス。終電が気になって、焦って食べたが、美味しかった。前回は個室で居心地よかったが、今回はまたオシャレな部屋で、しかもソファ席をゲット~。サービスの仕方がさりげなく、とってもいい気持ちにさせてくれるところがやっぱりよかった~。今度は(また行くかよっ)やっぱりアラカルトで、前菜1品、パスタかリゾット1品、メインもしっかり1人1品を頼んだら、シンプルパスタ抜きで、デザートで〆るのが理想かな、個人的には。

マロンさん>
美味しかったですね。
しかしこの予約取れない状態はいつまで続くんだろう、、、

Last time we went to this place, we ordered a set course, so it was cheaper and more food. But this time, I want to eat a particular dish in the a la carte - stuffed quail with rice and foie gras - so we decided to pick an appetizer, a pasta dish and a main dish separately, which came up to quite a lot of $$. But I think I made a mistake in ordering...I should have ordered the main dish all for myself and not shared with others(after dividing it was too little...) because that's why I went to this restaurant again for, and I should have skipped the pasta at the end which was over-priced - 2000yen for that simple pasta with just tomato sauce is too much!!
Yeah organising parties is a nightmare. It was actually a party of 4 people only! The problem is that I had to book this restaurant a month early, at that time I hadn't decided who to invite. ^^;;; Then like 2 weeks(?) before, I started inviting people and like you said, people say they want to go but don't know yet until last minute, people don't reply emails and you have to write and write again asking "Can you go or not?! Please reply!", and yes people cancel last minute and you are stuck with the situation having to phone the restaurant and apologise, or if you don't want to do that you have to invite someone else. I would love to just show up of course! It is all about fun you know, going out to eat and having a good time, I don't know why I had to stand all that stress, which was even more intense than stress from work!! -o-;;; I think you need to "not care" so much to be able to organise things without stress. Not care if who and who are coming, or not coming. Not care if the restaurant gets mad at last minute cancellation. Not care if the restaurant turns out bad...^^;;;
Oh it is mushroom in the black pot.

oh, I'm definitely not the type to organize, either! its so much easier when your only responsibility is just to show up (^^;)

>oh hey joan by the way did you get my email?

tomoko | December 13, 2005 06:55 PM

Oh yeah I was partly in charge of organizing the Bachelorette party for Vero and there's drama here and there too ^^;; It takes certain personality of people to be good (or like to) organizing things. and I definitely not that type of ppl ^^;;

What's that in the black pot?

120 for one person!? O_ollll It must be an amazingly popular place that you have to reserve one month prior. I know how stressful it is to organize, some people are always busy (or just you're not high prioritiy enough) that they can never give definite answer if they're going to come or not until the very very last second. Then there's always last minute cancellation...and you're stuck with different number table and the snobbish restaurant will get mad at you. Is this a place for big party?

The rice+foie gras chicken is very temping even for a 'bore-with-chicken' person like me ^^;; Though I think your last entry seems to have more variety (with seafood and all).

2回目も素敵なお店だったのですね~^^
このお店、美味しくて、私も大好きです☆

wow you had it booked more than a month in advance? sounds really fantastic! but I can easily see how it could get exhausting organizing it...so much at stake, huh!!

Second visit to this really popular Italian restaurant. It is always full and I had to make the reservation more than a month ago, before I could actually invite anyone to go with me. I had 2 glasses of wine and the bill turned out to be 12,000yen, quite a luxurious dinner but the food and the service were both fantastic. Somehow a lot of things happened when I tried to organise this dinner...I don't think I have ever experienced such tremendous stress, for the whole month, down to the last minute, simply for one single dinner! I think I am really no good in organising things with people! I enjoyed the meal completely but I am soooooo relieved that it is over. Swear I will never do it again. ^^;;;
