Rino's Italian Restaurant

My husband took me to Rino's Italian Restaurant in Lorain when we were dating. We went for lunch so we each just ordered off the appetizer menu and didn't even look to see what else they had. This time we went for dinner and it was a much more memorable experience. 



We started off with a fried cheese ravioli appetizer topped with fresh mozzarella and diced tomatoes. The coating on the ravioli was light making it the perfect pre-dinner snack. I then ordered there homemade Gnocchi. It was AMAZING! It had an incredible creamy blush sauce. It came with there homemade rolls and choice of soup or salad. I was pleasantly surprised when the waitress told me that had a tomato basil soup that was meat free. I went with the salad but did sneak a taste of the soup since my husband picked it.The soup was a very light broth and was very tasty as well. 

I am looking forward to going again! 

Moosehead Grill

So Friday my husband and I went to Moosehead Grill, which we had been looking forward to for weeks! Unfortunately, when we sat down and began to look at the menu we both instantly notices that the artichoke dip was no longer listed as an appetizer. It makes me sad because it really was the BEST creamy artichoke dip I have ever had! The waitress came over and we asked if they still had it. She explained that they took it off the menu. I asked her if there was any items that were meat and seafood free she could recommend and she said salad. I was surprised that that was her only suggestion since they do have pasta dishes on the menu. Oh well, we left and ended up with a very enjoyable meal somewhere else! 


See next post to find out where we ended up!
