I know I haven't been blogging much...And I really promised myself I would after I got back from Bologna, but I just can't seem to do it! uffa.... I read all of your blogs though! and I live vicariously through all of you in italy!

Updates--well So i'm back from my semester abroad.....looking for my next trip to Italy.. I'm thinking January since I plan on doing a master's program next year in Italy where they offer you a stage so you can go ahead and work with an italian company! I graduate in may so I can work here for a few months before then!

2. I am working on my Italian Citzenship......Uhm ...well you know how that goes a slow and long process even though I have every document but 1 (my great grandfather's birth cert. from italy) I paid a company--My italian Citzenship.com It's about month 3 and still nothing! So i called the COMUNE DI NERETO....... well they just dont work at 12.20 on a friday they are closed for the day much like everyday.

3. I met over 30 italians in philadelphia! So exciting! Really it's changed my life..I feel very much like I live in Italy but in Philadelphia, i've learned so much from all of them ! And I love them dearly!

Ristorante Revista Lunedi (Restaurant Review Monday)

Scaccomatto Trattoria

(Trattoria in Broccaindosso)

Via Broccaindosso 63/B Bologna

Telefono 051.26.34.04

This is one of my favorite trattoria's in Bologna and also one of the most famous amongest Italians and Bolognesi. I went to this trattoria 3 times during my stay in Bologna and everytime was delicious...The head chef is famous for his creativity in the kitchen and his boldness in trying new combinations that ordinary italians would never try!

Examples of some of his dishes include:

1. the Fettucini made with coffee beans in delicate sauce with venison-This was very interesting...as a dish the flavors weren't something i had ever previously encountered.



2. Tortellini in brodo- This was a tortellini filled with a shredded meat I believe it was either chicken or beef, in broth, with a cheese foam (like a froth of cheese). I really enjoyed this dish the flavors were pretty standard but it was the texture's that I really enjoyed.



3. Semifreddo di Pistacchio-This dessert was really good but it wasn't very sweet I did however like the creamy texture.



4. Handmade pasta filled with vegtables in a green sauce- This was my favorite dish hands down....It was just the most fresh tasting dish like biting into a garden. I really don't know how to describe it. But I have included a photo.

Chocolate carmel and granita-this was my favorite dessert, a chocolate mousse with a layer of carmel and a scoop of caffe flavored granita on top. You are supposed to take the spoon and get a layer of each. Was an incredible mix of textures, flavors and temperatures. Really fabulous.

He changes his menu every 2 -4 weeks so there is never the same thing on the menu. The chef does come out and meet the guests, hes very nice. He was also featured in a book about chefs which you can buy at his trattoria. The decour inside is checkards and has all antique cards on the wall.
