Date Night - Ristorante Lombardo

Tonight we had another Thursday date night. This time we went over to Ristorante Lombardo on Hertel Avenue which has been one of our favorite restaurants for decades. We also had a gift certificate which we had been sitting on for a few weeks. 

We had a wonderful dinner of wood roasted beet salad, linguini carbonara, melanzanie rollatini, rossi, rosati and pistachio gelato. The service was great us usual.

We haven't been there since our anniversary dinner last year in June. Since then there has been substantial renovation to the restaurant and it all looked very nice. We tried to make reservations last week but we couldn't get a table. It's been very busy lately and one needs to grab a table at least a week ahead of time. We had our table for two at a table in the renovated bar area. It was very nice and cozy. Last time we were there it was in the larger dining room. The outside patio has also been completely redone and has lots of nice heaters too. The prices have gotten higher than they had been but they also have plenty of lower cost items on the menu like their wood fired pizzas.
