Had a great meal at Dino last night. They had a special four course Tuscan menu and the highlight for me was the combination of the Polenta w/ Wild Mushrooms and the 2001 Arcadian Gary's Vineyard Pinot Noir that I brought with me to the restaurant. Dino has a really great wine list -- but even better they have a great corkage policy.
First Course: Costini Misto - all three crostini's were excellent but the heirloom crostini was unbelievable.
Second Course: Polenta Cake with Wild Mushrooms - an awesome, soul warming dish that paried beautifully with the wine we brought(see tasting note in previous post)
Third Course: Baby Lamb - tasty, but a little overshadowed by the previous course.
Dessert: Gelato assortment -- the pistachio was terrific and that is comming from someone who does not usually like pistachio ice cream. Also the nocciola (hazelnut) was tasty as well.
All in all a great meal.
