January 11, 2017 - La Piazza Al Forno - Glendale, Arizona

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.
