TN: Excellent dinner at Convivio, 4 btg choices

Fantastic description, Dale, which only further cements my decision to go there when next in NYC. Interesting sounding wine choices, too. (There is still room at 10/29's amphora wine tasting there, I hear) I also understand your rant about the wine choice at the neighboring table, but as you say it's hard to know what motivated the decision.

Thanks, Mark Lipton

Dale, please forgive my spelling corrections, but just FYI...

That's antipasto, not antipasta. It's not before the pasta, but before the meal (the Italian word for "meal" is "pasto.")

"Primi" is plural. You mean one "primo" (singular).

Primi are often pasta dishes, but don't have to be. Soups are also primi, as are risotti (the plural of "risotto").

Similarly, "secondi" is plural. You mean one "secondo."

Your meal sounds great. There's a wonderful restaurant in Rome called Convivio. Is this place related to it?

p.s. A belated Happy Anniversary to you both, Dale!
