La Bocca Felice

Zohreh invited me and Sugar to one of our favorite restaurants. We were welcomed by Nima, the owner, who was all spiffed up looking dapper.

Zohreh and I got there first. Shortly after we were seated, Sugar made her grand entrance. It's always interesting to see what wild outfit she would wear, and she did not disappoint, dressed in a sparkly jacket, shiny black pants, and black boots. 

We all agreed to order our dirty/filthy Martinis. Our appetizer had to be the most delicious Capesante, jumbo scallops, dried cranberries, and pine nuts cooked in Marsala wine topped with shaved Parmesan. That was consumed faster than you can say," supercalifragelisticexpialidocious."

Both Zohreh and Sugar ordered the special Halibut with a portabello mushroom on top, served with potatoes and grilled asparagus. They both loved how it was tender, flaky and tasted very fresh. I did have a bite, and it was indeed delicious.

I ordered the Vitello Picatta, thinly sliced veal seared with garlic white wine in a lemon-caper sauce. I asked if I could have pasta with garlic and olive oil with it. They gave me a generous amount of pasta, which was the best side that complemented my scrumptious veal.

We were all very happy with our selections. Our server, Jose, brought us the dessert menu but strongly suggested we try the Panna Cotta. Wow! That was just perfect. It was not sweet, yet very satisfying.

It is always a pleasure to dine at La Bocca Felice, and the fact that they do not have a corkage fee is a real bonus. La Bocca Felice is located at 301 W. 6th St. in San Pedro, California. 

Thank you, Zohreh, for a fun evening!
