We Eat Eat

Merry Christmas!! Mr. Fettucini and Ms. Goulash can't believe that it's December 25th. We moved down to Savannah in late September and the time has just flown by. We've dined at numerous restaurants but there are so many more to visit. We'll be blogging through 2008 for sure.

Last night, we celebrated the feast of 7 fishes. It's an Italian tradition for Christmas Eve. Where did we go? It was back to Aldo's, of course. We were hoping not to do any repeats but when it comes to italian meals in Savannah, there's no better place to eat than Aldo's. We were accompanied by Joey T. and Mrs. T. (Mrs. T. is a tough customer, she hates everything just like that kid Mikey on that old TV commercial). As it turns out, Aldo's fish feast special was so much food, that both we and the T.'s decided to order one special per couple and share. Mr. Fettucini, would you please elaborate:

Mr. Fettucini: Aldo, paisano, whatt'a nice'a feast. My man!! We started out with anchovies on foccacia bread (who would'a thought that those salty little fishes could'a made a bread so tasty). Next, we had a creamy shrimp bisque (it was a little too rich for Mrs. T....remember she usually hates everything...although she said it was good). Delicious! Joey T. finished his and then finished Mrs. T.'s (I think he licked her bowl but I'm not sure, maybe it's a sign of their love..we'll just leave it at that). Then came a spring mix salad with calamari (Mrs. T. ate the whole thing...the calamari was so f...... tender...sorry, I didn't mean to curse on Christmas Eve but I couldn't help it...it just slipped out). Finally, we were served cioppino or fish soup with clams, mussles and grouper in a wonderful tomato broth/brodo. We sopped up most of the broth with our crusty bread. Desert, no less, was tiramisu. All I could do after this meal was sing a rendition of O Holy Night because we couldn't a been blessed with a better meal. Aldo, I think I love you but I wanna know for sure, so I guess we're gonna have to keep coming back for more.

Ms. Goulash: Dahlings, I was so delighted with this feast but the gifts that my loveable little italian showered on me between courses was really delightful. Mr. Fettucini is such a romantic, dahlings.
