Bottino

Chilled Cucumber Soup, 13 on Olive, and Chocolate Chip Cookie

Tiramisu Bread Pudding

Somehow, I have worked 4 blocks from Bottino for 1 1/2 years and never gone there for lunch. What's worse? I've lived around the corner for 6 months. All my coworkers go there on a somewhat regular basis, but for one reason or another the stars just never aligned. Today, was my day. To make up for lost time, I ordered a soup, sandwich, cookie AND bread pudding. Don't worry, I didn't eat it all at once.

 The Chilled Cucumber Soup was crisp, tart and refreshing. Perfect for a summer day. I had a much harder time selecting my sandwich since they all sounded good and I could see all the fresh ingredients in the display case were high quality. I made a game time decision and went with the #13 Roast Beef and Peppers with Russian Dressing and Lettuce on Olive Bread. Wowie. That's a good sandwich. And hefty too.

I got the chocolate chip cookie based on my coworkers' strong insistence and boy-oh-boy. These cookies are not to be missed. 10 out of 10.

I saved the Tiramisu Bread Pudding for the evening as a surprise for The Mr. and we both enjoyed the last of my Bottino spoils.
