We had a good week at the office (mostly things were quiet and so we made lots of progress on everything – very nice), so I left early and Aviva and I tried an Italian restaurant she wanted to check out.<\/p>\n

Il Tiramisu<\/a> (13705 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks, CA 91423 – 818.986.2640) is located on Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks on the northwest corner of Ventura and Woodman, making it very convenient from the 101.<\/p>\n

I started dinner with the Capesante con Cabernet<\/em>, scallops with cranberries in a light cabernet sauce; I didn’t like this much, the scallops were fresh and soft (not chewy), but they were unevenly browned and tasted bland (and American!). Aviva started with the Insalata della Casa<\/em>, a basic house salad, which was fresh.<\/p>\n

Aviva ordered the special, a Salmon Lasagna<\/em>. She liked it, but I thought it was too fishy. I ordered the Crespelle di Zucca<\/em>, which are pasta rolls filled with butternut squash & ricotta cheese, light sage cream sauce. My pasta course more than made up for the antipasta – the pasta rolls were thin and delicate (if the pasta wasn’t home made I’d love to know where they buy it) and the filling reminded me of things I had in Italy; the sauce was creamy but lightly applied and added nicely to the flavor.<\/p>\n

Il Tiramisu is known for their deserts, so Aviva had their Tiramisu alla Katerina<\/em>, which she felt was a little small but very well flavored with coffee, and I had the Pera al Forno<\/em>, pear filled with mascarpone cheese, baked in a cabernet reduction. I loved my desert – it was a perfect size, easy to eat, and the flavors blended nicely without any one part overwhelming the others, which I think is difficult when working with pears.<\/p>\n

The cost for the meal was reasonable given what restaurants are charging around here. I’d recommend this one.<\/p>\n
