It's been about 10 years since the last time we were at Al Borgo. Of all the trattoria-esque Italian restaurants we've been to, they look the part the most. The setup looked like it was from another era. Even their olive oil tasted like it came from another era. 😂
We had sardines stuffed with buffalo mozzarella.
Pairing sweetness from the caramelized onions and balsamic vinegar with the saltiness from the fish and the cheese. 👍🏼
Got curious about their Kobe beef fettuccine even though we understood it was never gonna be Kobe beef. Tasted like regular beef. The creamy sauce was garlicky. Not a bad one but it also didn't feel like it was worth what they were charging. But now we know.
The menu mentioned white truffle tagliolini. This was the amount of white truffle shavings that came with the basic plate and additional would have costed $12 per gram. The noodle wasn't tagliolini but the buttery sauce and truffles sorta made us forget it wasn't the correct pasta. Thinking back, I still would have preferred tagliolini.
Special dessert was panettone. First time having them. It's just bread with some dried fruit. Pretty expensive for some bread with dried fruit.
