Two of my favorite relatives are leaving to return to Florida after three months here, so took them to one of my favorite restaurants, LUCE. We had a wonderful meal as we said good-bye for now.
I started with my drink of choice, a Negroni straight-up and it was delicious. So speaking of delicious that was my Braised Short Ribs over spinach fettuccine and carrots. This was a special for the night so didn't get the Luce Combo [look it up]. My two other guests had the Veal Chop and the Duckling Two Ways which are also two of my favorites. Actually I should say I like everything on the menu.
The short ribs were remarkably tender which helped as my fractured arm is still healing and cutting meat is a chore. No need to struggle here as the entire dish was a smooth dream. There were no complaints about the medium-rare veal chop with a bone that went home to the dog. The duck confit looked wonderful and the duck breast exuded an aroma which led it not to be shared. The wines were flowing and the house Zinfandel turned out to be very nice.
Desserts were Ricotta Cheese Cake, Creme Brûlée and my Lemon Sorbet in the frozen lemon. All were good but mine was refreshing if not caloric. Service was again exceptional!
blognote: enough short rib left over to make another dinner for tomorrow!?!!
