Carol Thompson and I went on the bus trip to Glendale to the Kimberly Ann’s Tea Room. We went into the Glendale Historic
District. When we pulled up to the Tea
Room, it was closed. Then we found out
that it closed permanently at year end.
Nice! So our tour leader made a
quick call to La Piazza Al Forno…pizza…Napoletana style.
Sometimes disappointments can turn into wonderful experiences. That's what happened to us today.
We went to La Piazza Al Forno for lunch.
Carol
and I both ordered the Ragu Alla Bolognese – rigatoni with meat sauce – but I
love that Bolognese meat sauce. It was
really delicious. The pasta was cooked
al dente..meat sauce was delicious. When
it is Bolognese…it looks as if it a mixture of white sauce and red sauce..and
it tastes just yummy…a little more creamy…and not so much tomato pastey. It was
served with homemade focaccia.

If I closed my eyes I would think that I was back in Naples at a small pizza parlor.
