GNO at Angelini Osteria

Angelini Osteria is my most favorite Italian eatery! It's not greasy and everything tastes so fresh. I had a GNO, which means "girls' night out", dinner here and we didn't go crazy on ordering because you know... we need to keep our girlish figure and all. Just had a few of the popular items and kept it simple... except when it came to dessert. One wasn't enough for the group's cookie monster haha.

Lasagna Verde

The best shit on Earth. Really.. it is. It has the craziest meltability ever. If you don't order this when you are here you are a complete idiot. It's a MUST.

Seared Ahi Tuna with Eggplant al Funghetto and Basil Oil Sauce

I only had a small bite of this but I thought the eggplant was pretty tasty although I thought the seared ahi was plain Jane though. This entree didn't strike me too much and I must say this was my least favorite.

Halibut in Guazzetto with Cherry Tomatoes and Spinach

Again just a small bite... it was light in flavor but I would have liked it if the halibut was cooked a little less. It was a tad bit dry to me.... just a tad. I'm just being very picky here.

Tagliatelle with Duck Ragout

My entree and I loved it! I ordered this last time except the last time had lamb. It is still delicious where the tagliatelle was freshly made and not too al dente. The ragout sauce was light and not heavy or greasy.

Lobster Salad with Peaches and Mixed Greens

Dang it I didn't try this one! Looks good and heard it was good.

I didn't take a photo of the dessert menu to know what this one was called but my party and I were not impressed with this one. The cookie underneath had no sweetness to it at all and it actually made the whole dessert worse. The mocha ice cream was pretty strong in coffee flavor. I say do not order this if it is recommended.

Creme di Mascarpone with Strawberries

The other item here that's the best shit on earth. In other words STILL the best dessert I have EVER had! So creamy, smooth, and freaken good! It was basically like eating scoops of cream. So bad but so so delicious.

This time around I found some misses with some of the entrees that didn't impress me too much but then again my palate craves very flavory tastes.
