Yesterday I spent the day watching a House Hunters marathon, grading papers, and trying not to freak out about MCAS! I was also patiently waiting for the 9:00 p.m. tip time of the Baylor @ UConn basketball game so certainly was caught off guard when JO walked into the apartment and told me to get ready for dinner at The Marliave. Marliave is probably my favorite restaurant in Boston, as evidenced by this post and this post. I'm actually surprised I haven't written more about Marliave.
Of course, he did have an ulterior motive. JO has recently been revamping his video game options. We currently have six gaming consoles ranging from SNES to XBOX 360. Last weekend we stopped by Sudden Impact in Winthrop to add the Sega Master System to our collection. While we were there I picked up two games for the PS2 to play over vacation. Sadly, when we tried to play the games at home we learned that the PS2 had died. JO had a hunch that the Game Stop in Downtown Crossing had some used systems. Marliave happens to be really close to Downtown Crossing so after picking up the system we headed over to Bosworth Street and the delicious food that was waiting for us.
We were lucky and got a great window table. In my opinion, this restaurant has some of the most reliable dishes in the city. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They even make a simple salad mouthwatering. I love that the hot dishes are served with a metal cover that is removed at your table. The raviolis are better than anything you can get in the North End, in my opinion. They are served with a sweet tomato cream sauce and parmesan cheese. Delicious!!! An added bonus is the service is outstanding. You never feel rushed.
For dessert we got the chocolate truffles. I'm pretty sure this is the prettiest dessert in the city.
In the end we went to Boston, shopped, had a leisurely dinner, and took the train home and were back in our living room at 9:02, just in time for the game. I love where we live!
