Last night, I took B to Zibibbo in Palo Alto for dinner. I was really excited to try a new restaurant but as soon as we walked in, I realized I had eaten there before - when I was in high school!
Zibibbo has a really yummy seasonal pan-Mediterranean menu and is inside a renovated Victorian mansion in downtown Palo Alto.
We opted to sit in the outside garden (with a huge roaring fireplace!) and started with an antipasti plate:
Fried risotto, artichoke dolmas, and roasted beets with goat cheese.
We could have eaten fried risotto all night long!
For dinner, I got the Summer Gnocchi with peas, green beans, and tomatoes.
B got the Alaskan Halibut.
For dessert we shared a Banana Brioche Bread Pudding. When they set it on the table, B said, "No pictures! Just eating!" I didn't argue.
The food was incredible and surprisingly affordable. We will definitely be back!
We are headed to Santa Cruz later today to celebrate the birthday boy with my in-laws. I also have 130 tests to grade. No biggie. :)
