Tommy Lasagna

There’s a real restaurant opening up called Tommy Lasagna. For real? That’s the best name ever. I was invited to the opening party for cocktails and a tasting. Fancier and smaller than I thought it would be. I was thinking it was going to be like a P.F. Chang’s or Buffalo Wild Wings, but with Italian food. I guess that’s good for them.

I really liked the Fusilli with Sausage and Chard. Spicy and nice flavor. I’d get that again.

I really can’t get over the name, Tommy Lasagna. I think it’s so good. It’s like Stanford’s Christmas Tree mascot …I wish I thought of it. Maybe Jimmy LoMein?

Ciao!! Bella Napoli Restaurant

Sam asked where to get pasta. I mentioned Bella Napoli. I’ve never had it. I’ll come along. He got the rigatoni. I got a nice portion of Lasagna for $6.50. Pretty good stuff. It took me about two hours to eat it. But a lot of that time was accounted for talking to one of the interns at the office. It was his last day. He asked for my advice on work. Instead I gave him advice on life. That could have been a life changing moment for him. For better or for worse, I don’t know. The food kept up. Cold lasagna, still good.
