Il Bambino

Expecting to go home and start the arduous process of laundry this Friday I was happy to receive a text from my fellow foodie friend to go out for dinner together. Gladly I accepted and told her I had never been to Il Bambino. I could hear the audible gasp as she quickly texted me back saying that is where we would go.

After selecting drinks, her a guava and champagne mixture, me an Allagash beer, J made educated and passionate suggestions about what we should get. Here is our menu:

Crostini: Egg salad, fontina, chive oil
Crostini: Goat cheese, honey, rosemary oil
J: Smoked Bacon with garlic roasted potatoes, truffle aioli, parmesan
E: Italian Meatloaf onion marmalade, horseradish-caper aioli, pecorino

Me: Fontina with mozzarella, pecorino and truffle oil


I liked mine but as J warned me, it was very cheesy. I actually only ate half because of the intense cheese and truffle oil combination. My favorite part of the meal was probably the two crostini that we shared. I love the goat cheese for it's sweet honey topping and then the egg salad for...well, being egg salad.
