As I mentioned earlier, I only made it from Mexico to Italy before I was ready for another break from the heat.
Tutto Gusto wine cellar seemed to fill the bill so in we went. I had told Paula and Hunter about a delicious pasta dish that I had had here back in May 2012…
Rughetta e Patate- Corkscrew-shaped noodles with arugula, potato, pancetta, tomatoes, pecorino cheese
I wanted to get this again and share it with Paula and Hunter, however when I looked at the menu it was nowhere to be found.
Hunter asked our server about the missing pasta dish and she said that she had never heard of it. I seem to recall that she told us that she had worked there for more than 6 months and had never seen the Rughetta e Patate on the menu. Though I was almost certain that it had appeared on the menu during our visit here in December (only 5 months ago), arguing over its one time existence seemed rather pointless.
But just for the record, here is the photographic evidence…
The December 2013 menu posted outside and the menu we were given inside, both showing the Rughetta e Patate under the “Cavatappi” section.
But what’s gone is gone, so I drowned my sorrow in a glass of the tasty sangria that Paula and Hunter ordered…
I’m not certain, but I think this is the same sangria that is served at Via Napoli.
