For dinner, my friend expressed a desire for pasta, so I decided to try out Casa Rugantino after doing some research online. The family-owned restaurant was small and charming.
Now onto the food.
First of all, the complimentary bread wasn't very good. It tasted like the ones that I can buy at the grocery store and then warm up in my toaster oven.
Lasagna: layered with ricotta, romano and mozzarella cheese, ham and a meat sauce baked in the oven. My friend commented that there weren't enough layers of pasta, and I would agree with her. The ham was also nowhere to be found. Nevertheless, the flavours were authentic and delicious, even though it wasn't the best lasagna that I've had.
Sacchetini alla gorgonzola cheese: tiny shell like pasta stuffed with ricotta cheese tossed in melted gorgonzola cheese. The pasta were really cute and reminded me of wontons stuffed with ricotta cheese (which I love). The sauce was absolutely scrumptious and perfectly cheesy, but unfortunately it was also overly salty. Nevertheless, we finished both of our pasta and enjoyed it wholeheartedly.
By the end of the meal, we were pretty stuffed and couldn't get any desserts. The pizza that I spotted from other tables looked awesome and I would definitely try one next time.
