That's right, it's finally time for graduation! Bring on the slew of dinners with family and friends. One of my aunt's and uncles mentioned that they were busy at work this upcoming Saturday and couldn't attend my ceremony. No big deal. Instead they wanted to take me out to dinner. Yes.
I'm not picky so I let them choose the place and my cousin mentioned he wanted steak so my aunt promptly chose DelMonico's Italian Steakhouse. We've been several times before for various reasons so I was all for it. It's always a good choice.
We started off with a Tomato & Mozzarella Salad with a Basil Balsamic Vinaigrette as well as a Mozzarella Fritta. Both were delicious. I ended up ordering the Frutti de Mare as my main course and was not disappointed.
This is a linguini type pasta with a light seafood pomodoro sauce, Throw in clams, shrimp, calamari, and fish and I was on my way to heaven. This dish was so good I can't believe I almost didn't order it. My aunt and uncle tried it and said it was 'too spicy' from the peppers that they throw in but I highly disagree. Slight splurge but compared to a steak it wasn't bad on price and hey, I'm graduating. This dinner is for me. I might as well go all out here and get what I want.
