If you know me, you can look at any menu that has fresh truffles, and know what I am going to order. Truffles are one of the few exotic things,
that I have had described to me countless times before I ever tried them and I was never sure I would like them. Trust me, once they are carried
out, steaming hot, placed in front of you, or anywhere near you, the aroma will TELL YOU that you are going to love them before you even try
them and that you are changed for life in that respect. La Castellana came through in spades today!

My pictures do not do it justice and so blown away was I, about the bruschetta and then the truffle and porcini stuffed ravioli in cream sauce
with a zillion shaved truffles, that I put down my camera and never took pics of Debs great spinach, ricotta and lemon tortelli in gorgonzola
sauce, which has, thankfully, so far, escaped her attention.
This bruschetta was a thing of art and beauty with the best of Tuscan bread, olive oil, whole basil leaves that had succumbed to the mixture with a dedication to duty.
Any would be restaurateur should go there and have that bruschetta, because it holds the key to success. Give me 2 of those with a glass of good
wine and I swear, I will be back repeatedly, if I have to walk!
My truffle dish was the best I have ever had, period. Looking around, we were not alone. Everyone seemed to love what they got. How often do you see that?
