La Griglia

Our anniversary was last week, but because we had family visiting (and I had a slew of foods for New Year’s day), we decided to postpone our celebratory dinner. We picked La Griglia because our love for Italian food has been revived since we ate at North Italia.

This is from their outdoor seating area. I’m seeing more and more of this water and fire feature and I’m loving it!
This is the interior. Walls are swathed with murals. I’m glad I was able to take this pic early because the restaurant got packed fast.
We started with Barolo and Italian Margarita
Pepper crusted AHI TUNA with caramelized fennel for appetizers
Lavander-crusted Maple Farm Farm Duck with wild rice
Medallions of beef with gorgonzola, wild mushroom, shallot-pepper sauce and nonna potatoes
Chocolate Dome cake for dessert!

This was a quiet celebration, compared to what we had last year at Toulouse (they served our dessert with fireworks!). We initially booked there but it was close for a private function. La Griglia is wonderful restaurant, they just don’t do celebrations well (at all). On any old dinner night, this is still an  awesome choice.
