Took my cousin to eat at Mario Batali's Pizzeria Mozza on Melrose & Highland. His first visit, my fourth.

Mozza's Caprese Salad (Vine ripened tomatoes with mozzarella, pesto and olive oil)

Pane bianco with olio nuovo (Thick cut garlic bread drizzled with olive oil and salt)

Crispy goat cheese with Umbrian lentils

Squash blossoms, tomato & burrata pizza

Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese, made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture.

Stone fruit & berry copetta (like a fruit and ice cream cobbler)

Butterscotch budino, Maldon sea salt & rosemary pine nut cookies (a butterscotch pudding with caramel, salt and cookies)

My dearly appreciated friend. In a word. Yes. It is a decadent meal. :bonk:

Yes indeed!!

There is a delicious African restaurant in Orlando whose buffet I eat myself sick at every time. :victory: Their prime rib is heaven.

Husband could not believe the amount of food I packed in the first time we went. :hehe:

No meat? Still looks great, though I'm surprised you guys consider this a huge meal.

My cousin is a vegetarian, so I had to adapt.
