Last Saturday Alejandro and I took a break from Mexican food and went to a very good Italian restaurant called "La Posta". We had been there before a couple of times on previous trips. It is located on a quiet side street just a five minute walk from my apartment.
We ordered a pitcher of "clericot", a red wine drink that is similar to sangría. I began with lentil soup and Alejandro had an Italian-style onion soup.
For his main course Alejandro ordered cannelloni.
I had something called "penne Firenze". The penne pasta was mixed with bacon, chicken and mushrooms. I'm not sure how authentically Italian it was since the sauce had a Mexican touch with a kick of chipotle peppers. It was very tasty, authentic or not.
Our desserts were definitely not Italian. Alejandro had apple strudel, and I had crème brulee with pistachios.
It was a delicious meal. "La Posta" is one of our favorite non-Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood!
