Lordy, Lordy, Everyone

Look Who's Been Married Forty-one

 

 

Hey, it's the poet in me, eh. This year we again went to Gio's in Barrie to celebrate and again it was nothing short of wonderful Italian indulgence.

The owner, John Remmo, remembered us from last year and was the ever present host as usual. He makes it almost like eating in his mother's house as it is a very small place and he is perfectly attentive and wants to ensure the food and service is at its absolute best.

Jo-Anne started with a taleggio formaggio, a creamy baked cheese wrapped in phyllo with apricot compote and crostini.

And I had a gamberetti frito misto which was a crispy prosciutto wrapped "huge" shrimp with plum chutney.

This was all served with an excellent bottle of volpolicella repasso which was excellent.

If you look at the top picture you will see the main course which was a chicken parmesan for Jo which was panko crusted with pasta. And I had the aragosta cannelloni which was lobster, basil, ricotta, and marscapone cheese.

And lastly here is the first bite of their specialty the zabaglione, a frothed egg desert with fresh fruit ... as she patiently (sort of) waits for the obnoxious photographer to capture the wonderful moment.

Perfect night with perfect table mate, perfect host, and perfect food ...
