Valentine's Day Dinner

This year, with Brian in Portland for Valentine's Day we decided to treat ourselves to dinner downtown with pre-dinner drinks at Rock Bottom Brewpub.

We haven't been to Mama Mia's Trattoria in ages (even though it is one of our favorite Italian places) so last week's dinner was a special treat.

They had a special Valentine's Dinner for two ($49.95 or $59.95) with wine pairings for an additional $20.00. The wines were paired perfectly with each course.

We munched out on the following:

Minestrone Soup; wonderfully light tomato base full of fresh veggies with just a hint of pasta

Capresse Salad (above); house-made mozzerella! Need I say more?

NY Sirloin Bistecca - cooked to perfection with a sweet reduction sauce (I took half of it home)

Chicken Parmigiana - Brian ate the entire thing!

Italian Ice Cream (Cinnamon and Marion Berry) - YUM! Never had cinnamon ice cream before.


To top it off.....red roses from my sweets!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Enjoy!

Great authentic Italian food with wonderful service. Cute little bar. Biggest complaint....they squeeze tables pretty close together so you are actually having dinner with the couple next to you (this lessens the romantic feel a bit). Huge menu (all house-made), great downtown location close to parking garages and the MAX.
