Foodie Adventures

This past weekend my husband and I went to a new Italian eatery and marketplace in East Village called Bottega Americano. I've been dying to try this place ever since my husband told me about their opening a couple weeks ago. {sidenote} my husband is cheese purveyor and his company distributes all of the gourmet cheese the eatery carries. This lovely market and restaurant is just what San Diego desperately needed - somewhere cultured, with delicious Italian food to enjoy in the restaurant or to take home. We popped in for lunch on Saturday and were whisked away to the bar, where I immediately ordered a glass of Rosé from Ojai and fawned over their expansive menu. We finally settled for a ricotta, fig and honeycomb appetizer and each ordered separate paninis, with a well-dressed side salad. The meal far exceeded our expectations and we're both counting down to our next visit!
