Maple Smoked Fior di Latte, Buffalo & Buratta With Basil Pesto, Fennel Marmalade, Sundried Tomato Pesto.
Pictured is the mozzarella tasting platter at Tavern 1903 (find them here: http://tavern1903.com/). The pesto is amazing but the mozzarella is standard and by standard I mean has the subtlest taste of once upon a time in Napoli. The Italians say the only place to eat it is right from the source of Southern Italy and even if you try to bring it back up North on the Frecciarossa (the fastest cross-national train), it will never be the same. It might as well be radioactive in the sense that you have a set amount of time to enjoy it's creamy amazing-ness before it self-destructs. I could talk about mozzarella for days and I have been infamously known to never turn down a nosh...however, what we should really be talking about is their Signature Truffled Mac and Cheese with baby lobster and shitake mushrooms. It is the kind of dish you pencil into your planner a week before so that it looks something like this:

18.00-19.45: Date with Truffled Mac and Cheese
19.45-21:30: Digestivi @ Bar Bricco to help digest above
22.00: bedtime
How creamy and filling is it you ask? I worked out twice in 12 hours the day before. Twice. Due volte. Trust me, you want to try this and you are not a true Edmonton foodie unless you have. Make reservations at least one week in advance for Friday or Saturday nights otherwise you'll end up like me this past weekend with my 18.00 reservations that saw me calling it a night post-Bar Bricco "night-caps" at 21.30. Party on young twenty-somethings, I have a date with my bed and my food baby.
