August 28th 2015: Dinner at Da Vinci Ristorante, Boston

Today after work,  my friend and I had dinner at Da Vinci Ristorante,  an upscale Italian restaurant in the South End area of Boston with pretty nice decor,
and even lighted menus.

For food, we got the Insalata di Rucola (Baby arugula mixed with red onion and balsamic vinaigrette, finished with Shaved Parmigiano reggiano and Candied pecans ),

The Sirloin (Center cut Sirloin Steak,  Grilled to perfection and finished with a Chianti Veal demi glaze reduction,  served With roasted potatoes and sautéed spinach),

And the Indian Fusion Masala Ravioli (Homemade Italian Indian fusion Ravioli stuffed with ricotta cheese, ginger and English peas then coated in a spicy tomato cream sauce, finished with a curry leaf Pistachio Pesto).

The salad was just exactly that,  nothing special,  while the Steak was a little on the bland side.  The Ravioli were amazing though,  the sauce and the Ravioli filling coming together really well.

Thankfully,  the desserts we got,  namely the Vanilla Creme Brulee

And the Peach Crostata (puff pastry Baked until golden brown and topped with thinly sliced peaches, served with fresh berries and Vanilla Gelato),

We're really good as well, especially the Peach which was Crispy and flavorful.

Overall, a pretty good meal,  especially with the nice ambience.

After dinner,  we went to check out the Whole Foods in the South End nearby,
Getting an Apple, Orange and Carrot Juice

Which was pretty good in my opinion,  but not too fresh according to my friend.
