Don’t you find it a little annoying that your friend’s dish taste much better than yours when you’re on a lunch date? This just happened the other day between me and my new lunch buddy Kenneth. \u00a0For years, I just didn’t seem to have any good luck getting a decent meal at any of the Coast restaurants. But I still decided to give Italian Kitchen a try, as the place was well known for its \u00a0elegant and tasteful design, and its\u00a0central location in Downtown. \u00a0And it was indeed \u00a0a very beautiful dining room that we were sitting in. Our waitress however, had a loud and slightly faux voice, making us feel a little uneasy despite being quite attentive. \u00a0When I was commenting on the food and referring \u00a0gnocchi as `dumplings`, she reacted in a cold and condescending buy modafinil online usa <\/a> tone, `Oh you mean the Gnocchi`. \u00a0Well excuse me, Gnocchi IS a type of dumpling!<\/p>\n

My Duck Confit Gnocchi<\/strong> ($17.95) was just not good. The Gnocchi was big and doughy. Honestly, my own Gnocchi that I made following The French Laundry Cookbook tasted better than this. When I tried some of Kenneth’s Special of The Day, Mushroom Risotto with Duck Breast<\/strong> ($28.95), I was jealous. His risotto was A LOT tastier, and the duck breast was perfectly cooked. Is this because the Risotto dish cost more than $10 than the Gnocchi dish? Although Kenneth was enjoying his meal, he found the garlic a little too\u00a0powerful in the dish.<\/p>\n
