Ronnie and I spent an awesome afternoon in Little Italy enjoying great weather, food, friends, and learning some history of the neighborhood. We started the afternoon at the museum and met some lovely people from as far away as Pittsburgh and Columbus.
Our first stop was Borgata Bar. We have not yet been there for dinner, but it is a really neat bar. They have kept the older ambiance of a neighborhood bar. They served us antipasto and gave us the information about the neighborhood and what had been in the building originally.
Our next stop was Little Italy wines. Matt, the owner has wines from every region in Italy and really is knowledgeable about the regions. His family has been in Little Italy for years and he understand so much about the neighborhood. He has a fantastic map with the regions that the types of wine from each region. We were able to try a red or white wine in his store and it was a fantastic red.
The next stop for us was Mount Granita and I had not been there yet. The Italian ice was delicious. I tried the amarena cherry. It had great intense flavor and was not too sweet. It was a fantastic compliment to having just had a glass of red wine. Sitting outside on this beautiful day was perfect.
This place needs no introduction- my fav in Little Italy- Lou's Tavern. I know the history, I know the family. John is fantastic. They served us the pasta fagioli which was amazing as usual.
Last stop was Guarino's....famous meatballs- delicioso! Plus Ronnie and I took a picture with the piano from our engagement photos.
The day ended back at the museum with some limoncello shots, wine, beer, pepperoni rolls and a raffle to support the museum. It was a fantastic event and I encourage others to go if they do one again!
