When another celebrity supped at Aldo's Sunday, Vitale still wanted to share the news, but in little more understated way.
"Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates just called us to make a reservation for dinner tonight after their Pier 6 concert," he e-mailed me Sunday afternoon. "Needless to say, (given my recent experience), I won't be preparing a press release after this dinner (LOL) but I'll share any details if interested."
I told him I was interested. If you are, too, here are the details of the dinner enjoyed by Hall and two companions. Here's Sergio. LV
They had: Chef Aldo's House-cured Charcuterie: Pancetta & Sopressata
Arancini - Risotto Balls stuffed with Meat Sauce, Peas and Carrots
Soft Shell Crab, Brown Butter & Remoulade with Sweet Corn Fritter
Crab Cake Appetizer, Beef Carpaccio Hall had Zuppa di Pesce (assorted fresh seafood in a tomato bouillon) for dinner.
He [Hall] was vacillating between the Osso Buco and the Zuppa, then decided on the Zuppa.
Affogato for dessert (vanilla gelato, espresso and sambuca)
