A Tavola

Amsterdam, June 14, 2009—

DINNER WITH GRACE tonight in Amsterdam, the eve of her flight home to the States (and we fly home Tuesday). Where to eat, early, on a Sunday evening? I remembered A Tavola, an Italian restaurant we liked a number of years ago, only a twenty-minute walk from our hotel. We Googled; yes, it's open Sunday. We phoned; yes, they have a table.

A pleasant stroll brought us to the Kadijkplein, where my favorite bruin, the Old Dock, turned out to be closed on Sunday. But right across the plein there was A Tavola. Arugula and Parmesan salad; ravioli con carne.
