Having Vatican City a part of this project means I get Italian food twice. Tonight was Polpette with spaghetti. More traditionally known as spaghetti and meatballs.
It is unfortunate that most Italian food has a reputation for being basic and unrefined. I think that is a result of the plethora of Olive Gardens and other establishments that liters the American restaurant scene. Whenever I've eaten in Italy there was no mistaking the meal for anything served with the bottomless salads and bread sticks.
Polpette
Polpette Rating: "Solid 8.5" --said Tony. "The presentation is fantastic and the flavors are so fresh. Nothing like a traditional meatball from the freezer section of a grocery store."
