It's Italian week at McGill's just in case my greeting didn't give it away. This week is easily the most popular and Chef Bond does a splendid job with the dishes. I'm looking forward to trying the risotto as a starter. Sounds like the perfect comfort food to me. With wine.

Buon Appetito!!!
Here is what we have to offer you this week:
Appetizer:
Italian Wedding Soup
Small Italian meatballs simmered in a rich chicken broth with fresh spinach and orzo pasta, finished with an egg liaison and topped with fresh Parmesan cheese

Caramelized butternut squash simmered in creamy arborio rice and finished with smoky pancetta bits
Main Course:
Four-Cheese Gnocchi

Spaghettini Bolognaise
Fresh-made egg pasta tossed in a tomato-based meat sauce, topped with Parmigianino-Reggiano cheese
