Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 2703905, member: 93"] At the end of a brutal work week I got a text from Mrs. 8893 yesterday evening informing me that we were unexpectedly kid-free for the night and asking what I wanted to do for dinner. The first thing on my wish list was to see if we could slip into Bufalina, and luckily enough they had just had a cancellation and were able to squeeze us in. As it has been every single time, it was perfect. Special pie was braised brisket with spinach, sauce and mozzarella; and we also got the Gamberi (shrimp, roasted lemon, shallots, parsley, capers, mozzarella), which is the only seasonal pie we hadn't had yet. Both were tremendous, as was the seasonal salad (Little gem lettuce, red mustard greens, pea leaves, roasted sugar snap peas, ricotta, balsamic vinaigrette). One of the best things to come of the dietary changes I've made in the past two years is limiting my pizza intake. Having it only once or twice a month means I am eating perfect 10's more than 90% of the time because I can afford to be picky. And one of the things I like best about Bufalina is the seasonal menu that focuses on fresh, local, seasonal ingredients. I usually get there 2-3 times each season so I have a chance to try each of the seasonal pies; and more often than not it's the ones I would be least-likely to order that end up being pleasant surprises. They really know how to express the simple elegance of good ingredients. [/QUOTE]
