Had a great meal at Palo tonight. Palo is one of the two specialty restaurants onboard. There are two dinner options. You can choose a tasting menu for $45 where you get to choose from a few dishes. Or you can order from the full a la carte menu. We went a la carte to be able to try more things.
The butternut squash ravioli was my favorite. The mushroom pizza was terrific as well. And Oso Bucco so tender and flavorful. The scallops were a perfect medium rare, although needed more of a crispy sear. Had a great bottle of wine from the Tuscany region.
An amuse bouche. Fried gnocchi in a delicious mushroom sauce. The sauce would make a delicious soup on its own.
Roasted mushrooms topped with arugula! And what a great crust. Chewy and crispy!!
The Agnolotti was my favorite dish!! Butternut squash ravioli!! Beautiful dobs of fresh mozzarella along with some sage butter. And a surprise ingredient: Crumbled biscotti cookies. I would have never thought of that combination. It added such a nice crunch and sweetness.
Braised Osso Bucco!! So tender and flavorful. Had just enough rosemary flavor. And they give you a small spoon stop scoop out the melted bone marrow and spread on the bread. It was served on a cheesy risotto that was a good contrast to the rich meat.
Seared scallops!! These were cooked a perfect medium rare and served on a bed of lemon and wine risotto with some artichokes. They could have used a bit more of a crispy sear, but tasted great.
