RGG+SGG helped us with our #2/99 restaurants: terroni. south italian cuisine. sadly, no pictures this time so how can i best convey the fresh tomato and basil of SGG’s dish, the perfect crust on RGG’s ‘za con funghi, my earthy porcinis with handmade/homemade tagliatelle noodles, and, well, m’s capunti w/ lamb (that should’ve been a linguine w/ clam dish, but she just couldn’t decide). according to jgold, we really should’ve ordered espresso but we had to jet to the bowl for pink martini (!).
terroni was good, i’d go back. a bit too loud, eclectic interior design, an extensive menu, reasonable italian food (which i find peculiarly hard to find in lalaland). but the real highlight of the evening was pink martini. O.M.G. they are soooooo great in concert. the bowl performance was even better than their new years’ eve performance at the disney concert hall. china forbes has a fabulous voice – so deep and clear; thomas lauderdale is so dopey and cute and geeky and talented. my favorite pieces were u plavu zoru with pansy chang on cello, their live version of amado mio, cante e dance (my new favorite PM song) and the first encore featuring a pianist and her violinist husband. wow. they have a new album releasing in october and i can’t get my hands on it fast enough.

during Dosvedanya Mio Bombino, all the stage lights turned onto the audience. m said: “i just phase shifted.” (you may have to be in medicine to understand why this statement is freakin’ hilarious…or maybe you just had to be there.)
