Before I tell you more about this creamy, crunchy, amazing canoli... I'd like to say Happy Birthday to SUSIE! I hope we made it good, now keep studying for your midterms(I know I should be).
Now I'd suggested the restaurant that Susie had decided on, a wonderful little place called Strings Italian Cafe. It's a chain Italian restaurant located near my University, and some call it a step above Olive Garden. Whenever I come back to school, I make a point to go here. Just because their salad is always crisp, sweet, and the dressing is home made. Their minestrone soup is very delicious, and their bread? It's just plain heavenly. This time I'd decided to get something different than my usual choice of pan-fried ravioli, which is what Susie got.
I got the Strings' Combo Plate, which included a lasagna slice wrapped in a garlicky, crispy pastry shell, and beside it a helping of tortellini alla panna.
Now as for desserts, which we had plenty of, I think the ones worth mentioning are the canoli and the tiramisu!
So that's the amazing canoli, I ordered it without chocolate sauce because, as you'll see in the next picture, they use waaaay too much chocolate sauce.
See? But hey, it was still delicious!
All in all, a very enjoyable birthday late lunch! Happy birthday again, Susie! :]
