Fine Food and Drink and Company at Italian Cugini Restauran't Barolo Wine Dinner

 Cugina has outdoor and indoor seating. The restaurant echoes, like all Italian restaurants, because the decor designed for hot countries has tiled floors. 

Extravert and engaging wine salesman with a little beard and a large smile greets us. The shy chef, however, is equally important with his wonderful food.

Our drinks began with a Prosecco. I am a cheap date. Two glasses of Prosecco and I am happy all evening.

We were not in for a cheap evening, but a six course meal with matching wines.

The amuse bouche was amazing, Flavours. 

Then pasta with a delectable sauce.

Another kind of pasta, like large ravioli, was a superfluous dish. Then a wafer thin slice of meat.  The main course of a fist size piece of meat, which fell apart off the fork, amazingly soft and delectable.

The Company
One of the delights of  organized set meal wine diners is the chance to chat to the restaurant owner, the chef, the wine supplier and like minded people. 

We arrived early which gave us the chance to choose a table for two between two other similar sized tables and immediately made friends with two other agreeable couples. You can see Xavier raising a glass to us.

Our two companion on my right, left after the fifth course and the fifth glass of wine. They had eaten enough.

The service was impeccable.

We stayed on for dessert and paid an extra 5 dollars each for a small cup of coffee. 

At the time I was very happy.

The Coffee

The next day I realised that ordering and drinking coffee had been a mistake. It kept me awake, was nothing special and did not come up with a chocolate, unlike most Indian restaurants in the UK which sweeten the bill by presenting a chocolate per diner.
