October 2nd 2021: Spending the Day in Wayland

 After getting a simple but delicious Rodeo Burger (A flame-grilled beef patty topped with a simple layer of melted cheese, crispy golden onion rings, and smoky, smoky BBQ sauce. All on a toasted sesame seed bun.) from the Burger King in Northborough today,

We decided to spend the day in Wayland today, 

Wayland Town Beach

Alpine Field, 16 Alpine Road

getting lunch at Giacomo's Ristorante, a branch of the one in the North End. Much nicer and larger here.

We sat outside, getting the Roasted Pineapple Mojito (Bacardi Rum, roasted pineapple chunks, muddled limes and mint leaves),

the House Salad (mesclun salad greens, plum tomatoes, shaved red onion and english cucumbers with balsamic vinaigrette),

the Prince Edward Island Mussels (fra diavolo),

the Scampi (Garlic, butter, white wine, olive oil, anchovy paste, served over linguine, scallops)

and the Firenze Flatbread (Seasoned diced tomatoes, prosciutto, oregano, fresh mozzarella,romano and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil).

The drink was too strong for me, having no pineapple chunks at all. The salad was not bad, but the rest of the food dishes were really good, the mussels being really fresh, the scampi sauce making the pasta delicious, and the saltiness of the prosciutto going well with the texture of the mozzarella. Really good meal here. Makes up for the okay one I had in Boston after waiting several hours outside the restaurant.
