When the World Series happens in SF so do out of town
guests, so I was happy Judybug who lives in San Diego was able to join me for
stop #12: Viva. Only fitting that we would go somewhere (when translated)
called Hooray on game one of the World Series. Viva serves up traditional Italian
dishes, so of course Judy ordered the Gyro plate. J She really enjoyed her dish
that had very hearty strips of lamb. We started with the minestrone soup,
it
was good, tons of different veggies and lots of noodles. I also
ordered the bruschetta to share, and when it arrived Judy informed me she
doesn’t like tomatoes…oops. More for me! And I was happy about that since it
was very tasty. For my main dish I had the garlic pasta: fresh garlic, virgin
olive oil, chilies, and Italian parsley. It was punchy. Very big kick to it,
but it was enjoyable. The waiter was an interesting character- we asked him
what he recommended and he told us he no longer eats there since he’s been
working there for so long and too much of a good thing can be bad. I obviously
enjoyed my time with my lunch companion and the food was average, but I probably won’t be running
back to Viva any time soon. Maybe for game one of the next Giants World Series
since its tradition now.
