For Mother’s Day we decided to dine at our beloved Basilico. I rarely eat Italian food – but when I do, Basilico is the go-to. They make my absolute favorite pasta dish (and I went to Rome & Venice) – it is called Ravioli di Gorgonzola e Pera con Salsa di Fico (Fatti in Casa); the blend of the pears, figs and gorgonzola cheese is unlike anything I have encountered. I must point out that all of their ingredients are fresh and you can tell.
We are always disappointed with our Mother’s Day dinners, but we weren’t this time!
Some of the dishes we had:
Ravioli di Gorgonzola e Pera con Salsa di Fico (Fatti in Casa) – Ravioli Stuffed with Gorgonzola Cheese and Pear with Figs and Marsala Wine
Filet Mignon with Risotto (from Mother’s Day menu)
Ravioli di Granchio Conditi con Gamberi in Salsa di Aragosta (Fatti in Casa) – Crab Meat Ravioli w Leeks and Shallots Creamy Lobster Sauce Topped with Sautéed Shrimp
Bone-in Ribeye (from Mother’s Day menu)
Linguine ai Frutti di Mare – Linguini Pasta Tossed with Scallops, Squid, Clams and Fish in a Light Tomato Sauce
