Being that Bunny's brother is in town (from Bremerton, Washington [1] and
that it's also Bunny's mom's birthday, we figured we would try a restaurant
we saw on “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” [2], seeing how it was in Boca Raton
[3]: Rosarios Ristorante [4].

It's not quite “if you have to ask, you can't afford it,” but it's close and
the service wasn't quite what we were expecting, but the food … oh the food.
The garlic toast (featured on “The Best Thing I Ever Ate [5]”) was good with
an assertive garlic taste to it. That pretty much dissappeared immediately.
The Eggplant Rollatini appetizer I had was the best eggplant dish I've had
(not that I've had many, mind you); tender without being mushy and the
eggplant taste was mild and not bitter at all.

While I enjoyed the Veal Contadina (I found the tomato, garlic and basil
salad a nice cool counter point to the warm veal cutlets), Bunny's Veal
Marsala was easily the best dinner served us and in retrospect, I think we
all would have ordered it had we known. But that's not to say the other
dishes were bad, they were all very good; it's just that the Veal Marsala was
out of this world.

I was the only one to order dessert, and the Chocolate Mousse Cake was
incredible—it wasn't overly sweet and it had a very mild chocolate taste to
it, but even so, it was so good we ordered an extra piece to take home.
Apparently the coffee (an Italian coffee) was excellent, but since I don't
care for coffee, I'll have to take Bunny and her brother's testimony on this.

One other interesting note—I think Bunny, her brother and I were easily the
youngest diners there tonight.
