Rebbel's Birthday Trip - Biaggi's, Perrysburg, Ohio
"Where do you want to go for your birthday?", I asked Rebbel. After thinking of restaurants and nearby stores, she chose to go to Levis Commons. She loves the Christopher and Banks store and the restaurant called Biaggi's at Levis Commons in
Perysburg, Ohio. Plus she wanted to get a torch for creme brulee at her cooking store in nearby Toledo. She wanted the new torch because her old one didn't have enough power to melt the sugar on top of the creme.
The first time we tried creme brulee was at Biaggi's. It was so delicious that Rebbel had to go home and learn how to make it. The first time I walked into Biaggi's, I thought it was going to be expensive. The tables are all covered in white linen, and the wait staff were in white shirts and black pants, but I was really impressed by the moderate prices on the menu. Most dishes were in the $15.00 range.
After taking the order, they bring this bread basket that has several types of bread. They fix up a plate of dipping oil and add Parmesan cheese and you are off to a tasty start. Rebbel ordered the Chicken Piometese. It is hard to say, but it was very good to eat. Chicken Breast stuffed with imported Italian ham, provolone and Gouda cheese, with a lemon - basil butter sauce. They are so good at this place, they even made the side dish of asparagus taste delicious! This is definitely my favorite Italian restaurant. We took home a piece of their moist chocolate cake. It was the kind of cake you think about the next day, and wish you had another slice! We didn't have the room or time to eat it there because Rebbel had to do her birthday shopping.
She ended up getting a pair of pants and a top and her much wanted torch. After she got home, she tried on her outfit and decided she didn't like the way it looked on her, and took it back and bought shoes right here in town.
As she was preparing her new torch to use, she noticed it had a flame control. She looked on the old torch and discovered that it too had a flame control that was turned down. Imagine that! Once she turned it up, it melted the sugar beautifully. She didn't need the the torch after all. It too needed to go back. Oh well, the trip wasn't totally wasted. Eating at Biaggi's made it all worthwhile. You can find out if there is a Biaggi's near you at their website:http://www.biaggis.com/
