I ordered one of the specials from Rosalina’s Kitchen.
The lamb and grape leaves stuffed ravioli. And I knew that it could go either way, because sometimes folks just don’t know how to cook lamb and make it well. Other times you stumble on something of mythic proportions and you can’t stop eating. This was the case with these ravioli. After that first bite and realization that this may be the best ravioli I’ve ever had, I knew I had to take a second bite and be sure my first reaction was not just about the delight of finding something different. And this was something different, something special. It was mix of flavors from different cultures that you don’t normally find on an Italian menu. And that second bite backed up the first reaction. Wow. I knew I should do my “Foodie” duty and offer some up to my surrounding foodies. I wanted to explain just how great these little pillows of pasta, stuffed to the breaking point with perfectly flavored lamb and grape leaves, were bites of heaven. The sauce a perfect match of butter and lemon. But I opted to keep my mouth shut and only open it when the next bite was coming. There were no left overs and there was very little sharing. (Of course my husband did get a bite.) And frankly, I am ok with that.
