We have been getting dressed up for dinner – puttin’ on our
fancy dresses (yes, I said dresses) and puttin’ on airs. This place is fancy in general. But last night after all that cold
rain, we just felt like feeling comfortable. So we dressed in our jeans/capris, put on sweaters (and my
new sandals from Capri) and headed down to the beach area for our last big
supper in Positano.
My favorite restaurant is the lower section of a place
called Baca di Bucco. It’s my fav
not necessarily because of the food, but because it happens to have the perfect
view of the town from the beach.
They do pretty decent food, though and last night was proof of that.
We started with a common favorite – bruschetta con
pomodorini (tiny tomatoes), which was followed by linguini with lobster.
NOTE: If you
plan on ordering any seafood that requires hands-on work that is drenched in
marinara sauce and butter, do not wear white. And wear a bib. Actually, we had an awesome idea for a
scarf/bib kind of a thing that looks fancy but still catches spills before it
hits your clothes. I don’t want to
say too much until we get the patent.
After the lobster dish, we had our first try of
swordfish. Also drenched in butter
and lemon juice, the swordfish was grilled and soooo yummy.
But wait, there’s more. After dinner we ordered this … this … creamy piece of heaven
made of pistachios and Bavarian cream.
It looked like a cheesecake, but was green with toasted pistachios on
top. It was salty and sweet and
had about five different textures from light and fluffy to chewy to
crunchy. Unbelievable. This was accompanied by a sweet desert
wine made from honey.
On the way back to our room, we bought these little
chocolate shot glasses for our limoncello. YUM!
Could you think of a better evening?
