I ordered the Risotto of the day which came with Clams, Shrimp, Mussels and white fish. Four came on a plate, which was not nearly enough for me, but we only wanted a taste. They were slender, seasoned with herbs, the stem edible, and the heart so tender and tasty. As a cook I wish I knew how they made them. Hitomi and I remembered the Artichokes on the Antipasti selections and that was the first thing we ordered. We asked about the specials of the day and our waitperson, obviously from Italy, explained what was being offered and how it was cooked. We perused the menu, both the specials on a blackboard, which, by the way, I could not see from where I was sitting, and the written menu. Risotto of the day with Clams, Shrimp, Mussels and white fish Our table was ready for us, and although it was outside it was right under a portable heater so it was relatively comfortable. After circling the block a few times, Sean finally let us off while he went to find a parking place. Parking is always a problem at Liberty Station, and this Monday evening at 6:00 was no exception. One of the great factors for my friend Steve is that they have 33 pizza’s on the menu and pizza is his favorite food. ![]() But she remembered that one time the two of us went to Officine Buona Forchetta and had a delightful meal. They wanted Italian food, and the two restaurants that she called for reservations were full because it was a holiday. Of course I said yes, because she is almost another daughter to me. She has a job in Los Angeles and called to ask me if she and her friend Sean could take me to dinner the night before my birthday. She was with me for 5 years, and her English is now almost perfect. Perhaps some of you remember my student Hitomi from Japan. This birthday was no exception, and I heard from many friends, relatives, former students, etc. When you get to be my age there really is nothing good about birthdays, except when friends call and wish you a great day or friends call and ask you out for lunch or dinner, or those that have meant so much to you in the past are also part of your future. ![]()
