As the name implies, the dish that comes before the pasta, and the warning that there were more than one - quite frankly, there were a lot of antipasti.
This lovely little dish, Polenta shell with piopparelli mushrooms, was a nice simple polenta with a little mushroom sauce. Nice touch with the scooped out souffle thing with a melon ball. The garnish was just a simple little sun-dried tomato, olive, and olive oil coulis
Totally vegeatarian. Spankable.
