Last week, when Jenny & I were in Little Rock, there were several conversations concerning where do we eat tonight? One suggestion that kept popping up was, how about the Italian couple, some new restaurant that was receiving lots of buzz. During all these conversations Jenny & I assumed this “Italian couple” label was just some kind of shorthand or nickname because no one could remember or pronounce the actual name. Well, that was the actual name, The Italian Couple. Aaaaaand we never ended up eating there.
Anyway, last night we at at our own personal Italian Couple: Stefano & Grazia, some newish friends of ours, originally from Roma & Napoli, respectively. Stephano is probably more of a foodie than I’ll ever be, and the two of them treated us to a fantastic dinner.
We started with a plate of cold, poached shrimp w/ avocado, follwed by smoked salmon served w/ the usual accompaniments. The main course was a pork tenderloin wrapped in puffed pastry w/ sauted mushrooms and a big bowl of some of the best green beans I’ve ever had. Much thanks to both Stefano & Grazia.
