Last night, I went out to dinner with my work colleagues at a restaurant called
The Italian. I'm still in a food coma...so much so that I didn't have dinner tonight!
We started with drinks at the bar...
Champagne, which was great because I need a scavenger hunt picture for the category "Bubbles"...
Gin and Tonic...."Imbibement, My favourite".
A number of my colleagues also enjoyed the Spritz over dinner.
We meandered over to our table and placed our orders. We had antipasto for starters to share....my colleagues destroyed the plates before I could take any pictures...but I got a shot of the calamari. It was delicious and so tender!
For each course, we had a number of options to choose from and I've taken as many of the different options as I possibly could without seeming like a food paparazzi!
