Little Italy in Mejico

So for dinner Last night we went to a little Italian restaurant down the street from the resort, we heard it was really good but were a little hesitant b/c we are in mexico. Boy were we wrong, it was one of the best italian meals I've had in a long long time. We were sitting on a cliff watching the surf pound right under us and watched the sun set over the other side of the bay. We started our meal with some white wine and warm fresh bread accompanied by Olive and Balsamic. Then we got calamari, and a plate of Italian sliced meat and cheese. The Calamari was crunchy and dry but not rubbery, it was perfect and the marinara sauce was just right. then we had some red wine to go with our meal. The Meal comprised of seared red snapper topped with onion, tomato and pepper, for mum. Filet mignon in a red wine and mushroom reduction, for dad. sarah had crab stuffed ravioli in a scampi and  cream sauce, and finally i had roittini in a proscuito and pepper marinara sauce. I tasted everyones and I believe that mine was the best!! Dads steak was amazing but a bit of pasta and bacon was what I really needed at that moment. For dessert we each had a sambuca, I'd forgotten what sambuca tasted like and was quite surprised to find out that it tasted like aniseed and coffee, I had half of mine then traded the rest of Dads wine for my sambuca. We hung around the restaurant awhile till everyone had finished their drinks and had rested up a bit from the food masterpiece we just encountered. We left the restaurant and walked back to the club in a slight drizzle but pleasantly warm evening. Next on the agenda for the evening was a good game of cards, we played a game I recently learned called Golf and had loads of fun playing it till really late and by that time everyone was ready to pass out!
