Una Bella Notte at Ciao Mambo
The timing was perfect. “Where are we going to eat with Doug and Shellie tonight? Their choice, right?” “Ciao Mambo.” “Italian food. Benissimo!” To be honest, Lori and I ate at Ciao Mambo a couple of months earlier and it didn’t knock our socks off. But hey, it’s Italian food so just order something else and it’ll be just fine, right? He said : Our server started us off with bread, which is always a good thing. Now, when it comes to bread, authentic Italian bread has a thicker, chewier crust than what you find in America. Ciao Mambo’s bread wasn’t exactly authentic but it was decently close. And hey, it was topped with a generous helping of parmesan cheese (which makes just about everything better). I ate my share, asked for more and again ate my share (and then some). As for a main course, I decided to go with pizze al forno because well, can you never go wrong with oven-baked pizza. Plus, I felt like eating an entire pizza. More specifically, I ordered Abby's Favorit...
