Dinner @ Maggianos

So yesterday I invited Malena to try this new venue for peruvian food. As soon as we got there, it was packed. I've never seen so many Peruvians in a single place since I moved to Seattle. The only thing we were able to get was Cuzqueña (Peruvian Beer) and Chicha (purple corn juice)... YES, Purple corn... see next picture

Anyhow, we couldnt get any food so, we decided to eat somewhere else. ITALIAN!

So we started with a salad: Maggiano's Salad: Iceberg and romaine lettuce, crumbled bleu cheese, crispy Prosciutto, red onions, tossed in House Dressing.

 

Then Malena ordered Beef Braciole: Beef cutlets stuffed and rolled with ground beef, Italian vegetables and asiago cheese. Slow-cooked to tender perfection in a Red Wine Tomato sauce and served with Pappardelle Pasta with garlic butter. 

 

I ordered the Zitty Chicken and Shrimp Garlic.

  

We barely finished our plates and we ordered HALF portion only. BUT we couldnt recist to order dessert so we did. We order the dessert platter plus 1... I know... we are sooo bad... so the dessert was Creme Brule, Homemade Profiteroles, Tiramisu, Cheesecake, Apple Crostada and Caramel Sauce,  Chocolate Zuccotto Cake, and the dessert of the day (Peanut Butter chocolate cake)

 Anyhow, this is how we ended lunch/dinner at Maggianos yesterday. Overall the food was great. The half portions are enough to feed two people... at least two girls... hehehehe
