Dinner with Hollis at La Lanterna

Had dinner with Hollis on Tuesday night in San Mateo (nice 1/2 way point for the two of us) at La Lanterna on 25th and El Camino. Nice little neighborhood spot with super fabulous food.

My dinner:

• Insalata Della Casa - Endive salad with carmelized pears, walnuts and blue cheese with a super yummy champagne vinegarette
• Tuna Special - it was grilled medium rare with mashed potatoes and spinach....there was a wine based sauce that was light brown...something...demi glace maybe? fucking goood - I almost forgot about the baby carrots that were carmelized a bit, so f-ing good. It was like candy.
  
• Panna Cotta - OMG soooooooooooo goood...and about the size of my fist...i love panna cotta
  

Hollis's dinner:

• Minestrone - didn't know but she's s a big fan of homemade minestrone
  
• Veal Saltimbocca - with cheese on the pounded veal cutlets...potatoes, veggies and those sweet carrots again. mmmmmm
  
• Tiramisu - it came in three scoops kinda like ice cream but is was so light and fluffly and oh soooooo yummy

I wish I took pictures because presentation was nice...as well as the super large sized wine glasses. It's such a joy to eat good food.
