Some rainy nights you just want some fantastic comfort food to warm you up inside and out. And if you can't make it at home, at least go somewhere that makes you "feel" at home. We've had a consistent string of windy and rainy storms this week and comfort food was exactly what I was in the mood for.
Comfort foods are different for everyone. My palate usually craves red wine and cheese. No style of food does that better than tasty Italian. So, we drove up to Casa Mia and made a mad dash through the torrential down pour from the car to the entrance where our droopy wet moods where instantly lifted as we were greeted with a warm smile and friendly welcome.
Chianti, prosciutto, mozzarella, & tortellini all finished off with a warm cup of cappuccino. The meal was the closest I've had to real Italian since I was in Italy. As it should be, since the restaurant is owned and operated by an Italian family that makes you feel as if they are inviting you in to their home for a special occasion. And that occasion could just simply be ... that it's Friday. Because in Italy, anytime you sit down to eat it is treated like a celebration. And tonight we were celebrating good food and wine on a rainy night.
