La Laterna

  • January 6, 2005
  • Rated 3 of 5 by Far Afield from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This was our first "real" Italian dining experience. The restaurant specializes in local cuisine. We had appetizers, pasta, main courses, a bottle of wine, and coffee and tea afterwards. The antipasto was shared bruschetta and a plate of salamis and cheeses. I had a black-truffle risotto as my prima piatta and wild boar for my secondi piata. Other dishes we had included a pesto pasta for the first plate and rabbit for the second plate.

While I can't comment on what others had, the thing I remember best is the black-truffle risotto. Scrumptious! It's nothing like any mushroom I've ever eaten and has to be tried at least once.

The boar was cooked in a local barbecue-type sauce and was delicious.

We had so much food; we could barely walk; we ate so much. No wonder it takes Italians so long to eat! You have to digest half your dinner before you can finish everything!
