My dad's birthday was last weekend. I love getting to celebrate birthdays when the whole family is together. My mom planned for us to all meet at his favorite restaurant, Enrigo (which is located in Waverly Place). If you haven't been....GO NOW! Seriously. Most of you know that I'm a spoiled Italian daughter. My dad constantly cooks delicious Italian meals from scratch. That's right ladies and gentlemen-he hand makes pasta, sausage, meatballs, ravioli, tortellini, and much more! To say the least I'm an Italian food snob. How can you not be with my dad cooking all the time?
So, back to the point. We went out for lunch to celebrate my wonderful father. Here are some pictures of the appetizers to make your mouth water:

Prosciutto, cheese, and fried dough
Stuffed Mushrooms
Fried Shrimp and Zucchini
I forgot to take pictures of the actual main course because I was so excited. It included some gnocchi, ravioli, and some other type of yummy pasta. By this point I was completely stuffed to the brim. People in my family had literally unbuttoned their pants just to eat more! The chef then came out to ask if we wanted dessert or a meat dish. We all groaned in pain because we knew if she brought something else out, no matter how full we were, we would still eat it! We convinced her that some lemon sorbet would be a good end to the meal:
We started to relax because we thought we were finished eating. Suddenly we heard people singing happy birthday in Italian. The chef and the owner were carrying a plate full of dessert toward my dad singing.
Of course we had to eat the dessert. Needless to say, but we all waddled out of the restaurant ready for a nap! Happy birthday Dad!
