Out to dinner!

This past weekend, my husband and I went out to the city for dinner with our two friends. We ended up going to Amis Trattoria, which some of you might have heard of already and some of you might have not since it is relatively new, about a couple years old. It was our first time there for my husband and I but our friends had been there before and let me just say that it will definitely not be our last. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was wonderful, we really enjoyed ourselves. 

So Let's go back to the beginning of the night and start with what i choose to wear, since I had not been there before, I wasn't sure if I should get really dressy or keep it a bit more casual, so i figured i would go with a bit more on the casual side but still look put together.  I wanted to wear something that was comfortable but still kind of dressy so I decided to wear a dark pair of skinny jeans, a simple peplum top, but really make the outfit fun by wearing an awesome pair of fringe peep toed booties, it made the outfit perfect for a night out in Philly, and I was very comfortable!

And a picture of me and my buddy Mikey G! I seriously have the most amazing friends in the world! 

This was what I ordered for dinner: I had the veal Milanese with a simple side of lemony arugula and a side of super crispy lemon Brussels sprouts, it was amazing!! The veal was cooked to perfection and it the simplicity of it was just what I wanted. Don't get me started on those Brussels sprouts, they were the most delicious Brussels sprouts I have ever eaten!! So crispy and salty and lemony, all things I adore, they were out of this world!!  Something really simple but done right and they definitely did just that! I wish I had taken pictures of our appetizers, I had the most amazing buffalo ricotta bruschetta (I was too busy eating to remember to take a pic, haha what else is new) But I will next time we go I promise. 

For dessert, I knew what I was going to have before I even walked in that place, (i looked up their menu online) waffles with nutella and semifreddo. Oh Em Gee!!! what a delight this was, can any of those things possibly not be good?! And when you put them all together it's unbelievably delicious, my husband and I shared one because as you can see, they are rather gigantor, and I mean that in the best possible way. I am so recreating that for 'Laura in The Kitchen' very soon so be on the lookout for it! 

Hope you all had a fabulous Saturday night!! Cheers to you all!
