Cirino's

While I was in Nevada City, CA a few weeks ago, I had dinner with my good friend at Cirino's.  It's a cozy Italian restaurant downtown with the most amazing roasted garlic. 

Garlic is roasted whole with olive oil and spices and served with bread.  If you've never experienced garlic like this, it's actually milder than you would think.  All that time in the oven mellows the flavors.
For our main course, we shared pasta with olive oil, sauteed vegetables and herbs, and even more garlic.
Following our lovely dinner, we headed over to The Nevada Theatre to see The King and I.  I can't say enough about this town...so charming and quaint with incredible scenery.
