Cafe Epicure

Penne with prosciutto and endive
Sweet potato and goat cheese ravioli with sage butter
Mixed green salad

This was our Protagonist's first Italian encounter in Sarasota, and it was great start!  He and his dining companion both ordered off of the daily specials board, and having one taste of the house-made sweet potato and goat cheese ravioli made him covet his neighbor's dish.  However, the penne, with its window-pane of Parmesan gently laid on top was also wonderful.  The endive turned nice and creamy in the perfectly seasoned sauce; pure eating bliss.  Even the salad was good; for the price it was a full sized bowl of mixed vegetables, with oil and vinegar brought to the table to dress to one's pleasure.  Our Protagonist hears that the gelato in next-door Jolly is something to experience, and he must make a point of returning...
