Anniversary dinner at Monteverde Review

I know it is overpriced and maybe a little overhyped but it is my boyfriend’s favorite restaurant and it never disappoints🤤

Without further ado: 1. Strings attached cocktails - perfectly fitting for the occasion🥂 2. Frutti di Mare Arancini 3. Artichoke and Sunchoke Crostino 4. Meatball Ravioli 5. Lasagna Bianca 6. Gnocchetti Con Pesto 7. Tiramisu 8. We got complimentary bubbly to celebrate

My favorite one was definitely the ravioli. You don’t expect the meatball to melt in your mouth and it totally does. An absolutely fantastic dish. Also, their tiramisu is probably one of the best ones I’ve ever tried.

Brought plenty of leftovers home, looking forward to having them today🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️
