Tanino Ristorante Bar in Westwood, California had horribly condescending service from the maitre d' who spoke not a single word to us to the server who was as cold as ice. However, I had to give them credit for putting two incredibly delicious things together - creamy dreamy risotto and sensuous, soft meatballs drowning in a sweet and spicy sauce. It made me want to sing, "On top of ri-soooooo-tto, all covered with cheese..." then rush right home and try making it myself.
4Fd4thot: could you specify which part has indicated that i really am a moron? the fact that i WENT to tanino in the first place? i will agree, that that was fairly moronic - the service was incredibly bad.
the fact that i had not seen meatballs with risotto together?
that i thought it tasted good?
or that i wanted to make it like this at home?

Fd4thot, I like your indignant, confrontational style and would like to cast you for the role of Belligerent Snob Who Gets Worked Up Over Nothing in my new movie. Do you do your own stunts?
9That sounds so good. Now I want risotto.
I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience at Tanino. You should try one of the other Drago brothers' restaurants called "Il Pastaio". My parents and I went there and had an incredibly delicious meal. The servers were all very very kind.
