Restaurant Week @ Vino

Because we had to make a delivery to Vino on Wednesday, we thought, why not also have a quick dinner since we're already there? And since it was Restaurant Week where a portion of the tab goes to the culinary programs at the local Community Colleges, it was a win-win situation for all involved!

After the Mrs started with her Aperol Spritz and we were served the basic frittata amuse bouche...

Vino's special multi-course meal looked like this:

amuse bouche
Hau’ula Tomato Salad
Maui onions, pine nuts & dried akule
 

first course

Moroccan Shrimp Uovo

OK Farms egg, lemon ricotta & brown butter

 

second course

Organic Chicken Confit

truffle gnocchi, swiss chard, roasted mushrooms

dessert

Espresso Panna Cotta

Kahlua crème anglaise & chocolate gelato

Of course, I had to have my meal with the wine pairings of the evening...

Of course, Vino also offered their usual specials and on this night, they had a Porchetta which we also HAD to sample...

And the Mrs also had to have their usual Pear Strawberry Crostata...

While i simply finished with my usual Negroni...

Another great meal at Vino made even more satisfying by knowing some of the proceeds benefits the future chefs in the 50th and beyond...
