A wonderful movie and perfect song for Valentine’s Day!

Hubby and I do not like crowds, so we usually celebrate Valentine’s Day early.  This year, we headed to Aldo Los Altos for dinner on Tuesday night.  It was perfect: quaint downtown location, no wait, tasty food, and attentive service.  I wanted to try this restaurant because they had Cicchetti, which are “small bites” and the Italian version of tapas.

We shared five Cicchetti dishes and were quite full.  Not sure if it was because almost everything we ordered was fried, though.

Antipasto Mistro per due: Prosciutto, Salumi, Crescenza cheese, Cipolline

Patatine Fritte: homemade potato chips with rosemary and sea salt served with saffron mayonnaise

Gnocco di Pane: puff pastry filled with mushroom and fontina cheese

Ravioli fritti: 4 cheese fried ravioli, balsamic reduction

Calamari Fritti: fried calamari served with marnara and lemon aioli

Of course, we had to try the creme brulee for dessert.

Coconut Crema Bruciata: homemade rich Coconut creme brulee served with fresh raspberries

Happy Valentine’s Day!  Hope you had a day full of love with loved ones!
