On our last night in Naples, in Summer's town of Maddaloni we
celebrated her birthday. Actually everyone aged her a year so this cake
had to be corrected to say 37 instead of the 38 even her husband had
thought she was. I don't know if this is typical of celebrations or if
this was Kobie's doing since he loves to eat but there was enough food
to feed the Navy. There were about 20 people there and everyone ended
up taking food home. Dinner began around 9 by the time we all got to the restaurant and we didn't get out of there until at least midnight.
On top of that we had to be at the airport by 4:30am the next morning.
The dinner was held at a neighborhood restaurant called Ristorante il sorisso which is where they have most of their celebrations and go for their pizza... great place.
To start off with, these were the appetizers:
 |
| I think these fried dough appetizers were called Zeppole..they were the savory variety. There was also an Arancini and a potato fritter. |
 |
| French Fries and really gone ones |
 |
| Caprese pizza.. mozzarella and tomatoes and basil |
 |
| Pizza with arugula and spicy sausage..so good |
 |
| prosciutto, salami, mortadella, shrimp, mussels and a potato salad |
 |
| Caprese salad |
 |
| olives and fava beans |
Pasta Course:
 |
| pasta with mussels..so good I wanted to eat it all but had to pace myself |
 |
| pasta with mushrooms again delicious |
Meat course:
 |
| Grilled steak..sorry it's fuzzy, I think I might have been in a food coma |
Fish Course:
 |
| Spicy mussels |
|
Fruit Course/dessert
 |
| melons, grapes, pineapples, and a South African fruit |
 |
| Birthday Cake! |
And if that wasn't enough they brought out Limoncello, Meloncello, and Grappa!
It's a good thing we walked even if it was only a couple of blocks.
Buon Compleanno Summer!!
