Villa Romana

Had the opportunity to go to Villa Romana (I have talked about it before but for some inexplicable reason, I cannot find the link to my own post) 2 weeks ago (oh gosh its been that long?!~~~.........) with a (relatively) large group of people (friends from Ormond), which meant that we could order more, and there was more food to go around. The only problem was that lazy me forgot (or rather did not bother) to take down any names of the dishes that we ordered.

So here they are, in random order.

I quite liked this, although it wasn't supposed to be done this way. Apparently, the tomatoes were supposed to be diced and put into a separate bowl. But I think it tasted good, and when it comes to food, it should be all (mainly) that matters.

And this is a pizza. How do you pronounce 'pizza' anyway? 'Peetzah' or 'Peeza'? I did not get to try this, thus, I have no idea how it tasted.

Another pizza. If you must ask me, this one looks much better than the first.

And a large steak with vegetables.

Now this one, I ate (cos it was mine). And it was good. Not spectacular, but good. Filling and hearty. Just perfect. Meals don't need to be spectacular to be enjoyable.

I've never been a fan of chicken parmigiana, and this (although it does look nice, somewhat) does not change my opinion. I didn't actually try it, so I can't actually claim that it wasn't good, but it doesn't attract me, no, not at all.

This here looks like your basic carbonara, I think.

And finally, this is Villa Romana's special pasta. If only I could track down my old post, I could then get the name of the dish for you.

Regardless, it was an eventful night, with good food, conversation, and company.
