Restaurants Where's a sofa when you need it?

The plate included fluffy zeppole, standing beside rectangles of semifreddo and slices of pine-nut and pecan pie. This followed my entree of chicken lasagna without a drop of tomato sauce. The noodles were briefly broiled to crispness. Fontina and ricotta cheese also figured in the dish.
The lasagna was preceded by two salads, one with leaves of Brussels sprouts and cauliflower dusted with semolina and quickly fried. The other was full of hen of the woods mushrooms. A rectangle of house-made pate was topped with chopped quince.
I'm sure I missed a bunch of ingredients.
I could barely walk out of the place. I understand why the Romans reclined at banquets. And now, in three hours, I'm headed with friends to a taqueria.

La Pietra Cucina is certainly one of the underrated gems in this town.
