Luna Rosa Wine Bar
402 S. Main St.
Stillwater, MN 55082
Attendees: Beth, TJ, Jenny, Chris (honorary member) and Katie (honorary member)
Restaurant description: Intimate, rustic cave setting. Low lit, indigenous feel; felt like we were in Italy!
The meal: Terri has the Pasta of the Day (fettucine, shrimp, roasted red peppers, capers and calamata olives in an olive oil, garlic sauce with a touch of pomodoro. To drink...2 glasses of house riesling. Chris has the Chicken Marsala and a glass of the house zinfandel, and he also ate a lot off of Terri and Jenny's plates. Jenny ate the Penne Sicliona and two whiskey diets. Katie enjoyed the Chicken Cacciatore and drank a Limoncello mojito. Beth ate the Fettucine Alfredo with Chicken and Mark West Pinor Noir. We all shared desserts. The chef was running behind in making desserts, so our server brought us free limoncello shots. The desserts we ate were an Espresso Martini, Tiramisu, and Creme Brulee.
Rating:
Atmosphere: 5
Creativity: 4.5
Taste: 4.5
Memorable moments of the evening: 1. It was great having Katie and Chris in attendance. 2. Chris' comment, after hearing that our taste rating was a 4.5 and not higher: "4.5! Bullshit! I had three meals and they were all wonderful!" 3. Katie's comment, when asked to provide a quote summarizing her evening: "I can't come up with a quote under all this pressure." 4. Terri: "I look like a nun tonight, why did I wear a turtleneck?" 5. We were given a private cave tour at Joseph Wolf Brewery (connected to the restaurant) after dropping Rafaelle's name. It was awesome!
