I am now back in San Francisco, but still posting stuff from my trip to Vancouver. FYI, the exchange rate right now is about US$1 = CAN$0.8. I will be heading back to Boston on Jan. 16th.

Had a nice dinner last night in the North End at Limoncello, which I've been to a couple times before. Had a scallop salad appetizer which was really good, but I forgot to whip out the camera. Here are some pictures of the pasta - they were very dark but I tried to brighten em a bit in Photoshop.
linguini frutti di mare
rosette pasta with prosciutto, montasio cheese, mushrooms, and truffle oil
Both of the pastas were good. The frutti di mare had a red sauce, and I always prefer white, but the seafood tasted pretty good. The rosette was very interesting. I ordered it based off recs from Chowhound. They used pasta sheets, wrapped it around the stuff into a rosette shape. Could definitely smell and taste the truffle. Good stuff.
