... or close, but we went to a restaurant on the Stockholm South side (Södermalm) which would have been Where the Action is, back in those days when people said Where the Action is. HAd a rather good supper in a little italan restaurant - at least, they assured us the cook was Italian. Started with penne, smokled duck's breast, procini, and a whiff of truffles. On the advice of the slightly breathless waitress, we drank Teroldego Rotaliano 2003 Mezzacorona [n] Herbs, marzipan, undergrowth [p] Spicy, frisky, very dry, with refreshing acidity. Dark fruit, plums and prunes, good structure, liquorice and more herbs.
Continued with a slow cooked osso bucco d'agnello - front leg of lamb, slowly cooked, served with saffron risotto, or, rather, rice scented with saffron. After discussion opted for the last bottle of Musella Amarone Riserva 2000 (for you we have special price). [n] mucho dark, dried fruit with residual sweetness, raisins, prunes, black olives, dried spice (rosemary thyme) [p] powerful, concentrated, black fruit, almonds, biter almonds.
Not bad. As a matter of fact, quite good, even.
Cheers
