Café Zucchero

When out to dinner last night with some friends who are in town from Hawaii and we took them to Little Italy and had dinner at Cafe Zucchero. What initially drew us in was the smell. It was incredible. We started out with caprese (sliced tomato, buffalo mozzarella, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar) and arancini (fried rice ball filled with cheese). The caprese was ok, not the best I have ever had. That was actually in Napa Valley at Tra Vigne. The mozzarella was so fresh it was still warm. But the arancini was really good, it was in this incredible tomato sauce. I had the agnolotti (butternut squash in a sage cream sauce) it was good but the squash was just a tiny bit too sweet. Overall everyone really enjoyed their food and I would definitely go back. Next time I will stay for dessert. They have a pastry shop next door that looked interesting. Who wants to join me next time?
