A very fantastic meal

Beautiful cherries make the afternoon of studying art law in the courtyard lovely. Our landlady's boyfriend is very sweet and offers us cherries through the window.

We finally got to treat ourselves to a lovely Italian meal. Here it is:

1. We were greeted with prosecco at the bar while they prepared out table (and this is with no reservations, simply a beautiful gesture).

2. At our table we decided to get the 5 course tasting menu: land this evening rather then sea along with a beautiful glass of a slightly sweet red wine.

The first course: beef surrounding pâté in light sauce.

The second course: canneroni with tomato, parmesan, and pancetta over an onion purée.

The third course: ravioli filled with ricotta and amaretto.

The fourth course: cockerel (as Q says- good, I'm all about gender equality) in a peanut sauce with a mash
of turnips and potatoes and some ridiculously amazing green sauce which you can see in the background of the photo.

The fifth course: fantastic desert with raspberry, frozen custard, and beautiful dark chocolate accompanied by, of course, espresso. Gorgeous espresso.

A fantastic evening at Il Santo Graal ristorante!
