My friend from Allure was in town for the weekend and I chose a place called DiSotto Enoteca. It's an underground cavern of a wine bar that features small antipasti plates, like an Italian version of tapas, with incredibly intimate and old-world ambiance. I ordered a glass of Chianti (my staple) and then tried a spicy French Syrah (decent, but no Chianti or Malbec). Then, I ordered a plate of taleggio cheese and fig compote, which I followed up with portobello, fontina and rosemary bruschetta. I began to miss the taste of taleggio and thus ordered pear, taleggio and toasted pecan bruschetta. Then we shared a chocolate cake. As it happens, saturated fat and I are having a very torrid love affair at the moment..
If you're ever in the Chicago area, go go go. I promise it's wonderful. I'll meet you there. I'll help you out with that cheese and bruschetta and chocolate cake.
So how was your weekend?!

Mmmmm ... you are making me so hungry right now. I love bruschettas and the ones that you just described sound amazing. I am definitely trying that place when I come to Chicago.

This sounds like a place in Dublin that I practically lived in called, La Cave. I miss it so much. You would think that being in France there would be a wine bar like this on every corner... but nope.
Yum!!! My favorite 2 things!
