Throwback Thursday: RivaBella

Fattt guy in a little coa-a-oat! Yeah…this is how I felt after Steph met me at RivaBella for a world-class meal, prepared for a world-class palate, and abused by my world-class waistline.

I love good food, which as I write on this blog I see my 34 waistline shrieking in the corner…nooo, not another lobster roll! Not another chocolate budino! Noooo! (imagine in a Kevin Hart voice)…

No…no, no, no, no…I heard these words in my mind as I Steph and I were seated for a RivaBella experience…and then they were quieted as soon as our incredible waiter started talking Truffle Pizza and Poached Lobster. To die for! That’s all I can say…honestly, we had the dining experience of our chubby dreams!

  • Chef’s Choice Pizza – Truffle
  • Poached Lobster w/ Ricotta, Candied Cashews + Peaches
  • Farmer’s Market salad
  • Strozzapreti – Langostine, Wild Mushroom, Brown Butter
  • Colorado Lamb Chops
  • Scallops w/ Carrot Puree, Asparagus, Aged Balsamic
  • Porcini Risotto with Truffles – Finished Tableside with 24 Month Aged Parmigiano Reggiano
  • Ice Cream Made Tableside Using Liquid Nitrogen…and…
    …a CRONUT!!!

I blame you RivaBella for 1. correcting my palate, as I can now be subjected to less than your exquisite meal…and 2. for the double chin I may sport at 40. Luckily my baby loves me no matter what…

I hope.

Seriously, if you’re reading this, make reservations at RivaBella immediately. Read Steph’s version of the story here.
