Sicily By Gino - Ventura, CA

On Sunday after our horse show Scott and I had a nice date day. He surfed, we cruised Main Street and decided a bite to eat was in order. Right next to the movie theater there was outdoor seating, great looking Italian being served and prime grounds for people watching. Score! 

 Scott craved a beer and so he went for a Peroni to keep in theme. I thought some bubbly was in order to enjoy the late afternoon sunshine. The bread came out of the oven piping hot. It was made in house, points for them.

I ordered off the Special Menu and I cannot say I ordered what I was craving. Salmon with a creamy vodka sauce served with arugula. It was all fine but didn't leave me with that post carbohydrate glow.

Now this, this is what I wanted. Scott tempted me with a bite of Spaghetti Carbonara. The pancetta, parmesan and beaten eggs that make up this delicious creamsicle is what I was after. Scott Good Taste won another food battle...

Although we declined on desserts the owner did send complimentary shot glasses of port. It was a nice way to end our Italian meal. After we danced at Amigo's to a wonderful band named "Los Dudes" - bizarre name but killer tunes. We were still in the mood to stay out so we caught a movie. OZ. It wasn't so great, in fact it was painfully slow... 

What a wonderful day in Ojai, I am off to enjoy some more sunshine! Ciao...
