Last Sunday, Jeff and I had a nice little date night with dinner at new Italian eatery Rinata on Hennepin, in the space that used to be Giorgio's. Its a cozy spot for a chilly night and we shared a fantastic bottle of Sonoma Pinot Noir and a delicious, garlicy caeser salad. For entrees, I tried their signature dish - Risotto with Wild Boar & Parmesan that was quite flavorful, and Jeff had the Ravioli with mushrooms, tomato and goat cheese which wasn't quite as exciting. We had some home made Pistachio gelato for dessert and really amazing Italian coffee. Chef/Co-Owner Jonathan Hunt has an impressive track record with Italian cuisine in Minneapolis after working as chef at Pane Vino Dolce and opening his other successful restaurant - al Vento.With our bellies full we headed over to the Lagoon Theater to catch Kate and Leo's reunion in the movie, "Revolutionary Road." Their acting was sublime and I loved the story but can see how it could be depressing if you happen to feel trapped in the suburbs with marriage, kids and unfulfilled dreams.
