Dinner at Olio

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about my dinner with Dad at Elaia.  On Wednesday night, I was joined by my friend M for dinner at Olio, Elaia's wine bar counterpart.  We had delicious food: olives as a started, I had the red pepper and ricotta sandwich and M had the Wednesday night lasagne special, and a chocolate cake with coffee gelee and espresso cream for dessert.  Delish.

As for the wine, I first asked our waiter to bring me a glass of something red, old world, not too heavy.  It was good.  For my second glass, I perused the list and picked out a rosy Giacomo Vico nebbiolo.  "Interesting choice," the server said.  "Oh yeah?"  "Yeah, that's the one you just had."

I guess it was a good fit.
