ZAGAT Presents: A JOURNEY ALONG THE RIVER PO April 22, 2010

Embark on a culinary tour through Italy’s Po River Valley at this Redwood City ristorante by dining on the distinct flavors of the river’s major port towns. Explore the rich meat sauces, homemade pastas and centuries-old traditions of artisan products in a new light as you dine on a six-course menu featuring cuisine from Parma, Bologna, Alba, Milan and Mantova. Dishes include prociutto e pinzin, an 18-month-old prosciutto di Parma with pinzin dumplings; gnocchi di ortiche, a stinging-nettle gnocchi with brown butter and sage; and arrostino di vitello e asparagi, roasted veal loin with asparagus parmigiano and trebbiano sauce. Each course is also available with a wine pairing perfectly matched to the meal’s rich and robust Italian flavors.

Tickets are $45 for six courses, $30 additional for wine pairings; tax and gratuity not included.
