Monday 3/31/25 Continued
Later that evening we drove to the Boardwalk for our dinner reservation at Trattoria al Forno. We went early to wander the Boardwalk as well as for pre-dinner cocktails.
We quickly returned the items we needed to return at the store at the Boardwalk; it’s so convenient that you can return things anywhere on property. We walked around the Boardwalk a bit just enjoying being there.
We headed to Abracadabar for our pre-dinner cocktails. The bar itself was full but we were able to find a bar table.
I had my favorite Hoodunit’s Punch and Scott surprisingly had a glass of Cakebread Chardonnay
We were seated on time at Trattoria Al Forno
We started with the fried calamari. This was very good, not greasy and not too salty.
The bread is pretty good, but a lot of the food is bread-y so we didn’t really need the extra little rolls, but they drop them off so quickly. Of course we nibbled on them, but I would prefer regular butter over the dipping sauce
I had the Margarita pizza and added pepperoni to it. This was delicious. Of course I had plenty of leftovers.
Scott ordered the chicken parmigiana. Unfortunately, this was not very good tonight. It was dry and under-seasoned. Chicken Parmigiana is one of his favorite dishes that he gets in all sorts of places and was surprised an Italian restaurant that does other dishes so well did this so poorly tonight. It’s definitely not consistent since he had this here before and loved it. I guess it was just an off night for the chicken
Other than Scott’s chicken, we enjoyed our meal at Trattoria al Forno.
We skipped dessert at Trattoria and headed to the Boardwalk Bakery instead to pick up some desserts to go. We ate some of our desserts once back in the villa.
Scott wanted a cupcake so got a Cookies and Cream cupcake which he liked.
We ordered a crumb cake that was pretty good and we shared
Of course I had to get a Snickerdoodle muffin that I wrapped up since I wanted to have it for breakfast
