Before I jabber on about food, I'd like to explain what I'm doing. I haven't written a review in awhile, so I'm writing two reviews in one, and this is supposed to make up for the century I haven't written in. I ate dinner at one place, and desert in the same area, but not the same restaurant. And now back to my jabbering...
PART 1: Last night I went to Oro Pomodoro, an Italian restaurant. I started with the fresh mozzarella with tomatoes and basil; a caprese, that I thought was standard. It tasted mellow- and too peppery...??? The following thing I tried was a rugola salad that was bitter and acidic tasting. My main course was marinara pizza with mozzarella cheese. I wouldn’t recommend this pizza because it had too much dry oregano leaves- my mouth isn’t grandma’s herb garden! I tried some gnocchi with gorgonzola and pistachio, an unpleasant dish. I can’t quite explain how it tasted, but please take the advice of skipping it. I rate Oro Pomodoro only one star for its distasteful food.
PART 2: After my mediocre meal, I sunk my teeth into a delicious Fractured Prune donut. I pity you if you have the peanut allergy, because the heavenly blissful fried cakes with holes from the Fractured Prune are made with peanut oil . . . sorry! I ordered a rolo donut; a donut with caramel glaze and chocolate chips. Its glaze tasted syrupy and sweet, while the chocolate chips were rich and decadent. I say Fractured Prune is five stars.

That was a very vivid description of a rather mundane meal. But at least Fractured Prune didn't let you down! Fractured Prune never lets you down. Sometimes the simple food is the best food. I look forward to the next installment!
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying reading your posts. They have been so full of voice and I can actually hear and picture you as you are typing the posts.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you did not have a good experience at Oro. I love that place. I normally get the buffalo mozzarella pizza. It is delectable.
I would love to read about your insight of the Bombay Bistro in Rockville.
Cheers to good eating!
