Boticelli on Angelo Street South Perth

Light and easy Italian food! Sauces as ephemeral as fog and gentle on the stomach compared to more traditional Italian fare.

The restaurant was a buzz with patrons seeking the early Saturday dinner.

A little starter with anti pasta. Lentils, beans, Italian sausage and peppers. After the yoga session to increase flexibility. Why not?


Something crunchy with tomato and dressing. Bruschetta.

 
Another favourite with a light batter. Calamari or fried squid.
 
 
For a stomach filler or if you ran the 1/2 marathon instead of doing yoga. Try the spaghetti bolognaise.
 
 
Pasta with prawns and a creamy sauce. Great for teenagers who like seafood with crunchy prawns.

 
Spicy mussels with a light sauce.
 

Veal Schnitzel with a light sauce.

 
Veal with Mushroom sauce. By far the favourite protein for the evening.
 
Steak. Voila. Good after the weights workout.
 
 
Apple cake to finish of the meal.
 
 
 
A fruit flan to finish off the restaurant meal. Not at the restaurant but at home with feet up in the air and the television on.

Aqua Viva Oct 2012

Acqua Viva on the Swan river

Dinner with enthralling education from Warren Olanov who hails from  New York.

The setting for dinner. Great view of the river and fast power boats moored to the jetty next to JoJo's restaurant.

 
 
Straight from work so did no get a chance for a power walk before dinner. Just some burpies ad chin ups. Not too worry as it is ride to work day tomorrow. Check it out at http://www.bwa.org.au/ or http://www.bicyclenetwork.com.au/
Menu for entree and main in duo combos.
 
 
 


Entree of eggplant marinate in olive oil with pastry and an Italian prawn rice dish or risotto. Great for the long distance cyclist.




The wine was an Alkoomi red. The main was a combo of grilled fish with chicken breast cooked in a cheesy sauce and stuffed with mushrooms. A protein rich meal good for a couple of 40kg ( X2 of 20kg weights) bench presses in the morning.



Desert was a sample of petit fours. Light to taste and not too sweet. These tiny servings would be great for a yoga session after dinner in front of the television. Now to try to get to New York to visit Warren...
