Bringing my parents over to Germany to meet the Mr's parents found us at Locanda Grappolo d-oro &…read morethis visit was as amazing as our first visit
Even though it was a holiday, they were open for lunch
Amuse Busche consisted of Smoked Salmon, Gnocchi & Potato Salad for the meat-eaters. We veggies had a nice piece of Cantaloupe substituted for the salmon
I have to point out that their Gnocchi has taken my #1 favorite gnocchi of all times & I would have happily made a meal out of those little pillows
Just a bit of texture, these gnocchi melted in the mouth yet still had a bit of chew. Paired w/ truffles in butter sauce & just a hint of Parmesan, this was absolute heaven!
Appetizers for all consisted of their Cream of Alfalfa Sprout Soup - Never would have thought to make alfalfa into a soup but this had a TON of flavor. Nicely spiced & creamed yet they allowed the sprouts to take center stage & really shine - I could have had 3 more of these
Main courses for the Mr's parents included the Beef w/ Peppercorns & just like last time, it did not disappoint
My Mom had the fish & said it was soft & flaky & she polished off the whole dish
Daddy chose the Beef in a Mustard Sauce & said the beef was extremely tender & flavorful & the sauce put it over the top
The Mr & I had their Asparagus Risotto - creamy, rich & paired w/ tender & perfectly al dente spears of Asparagus - this was another risotto heaven
Desserts for the table included some nice coffee & their assorted cookies & homemade wine-filled truffles......perfection!
