Reality kitchen-- CHECK!
You have to know, the highest father/daughter moment that I share with my oldman is watching this TV show, Cucine da Incubo, which is nothing but the Italian version of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares... So, a few weeks ago, a restaurant of my city was featured, and finally we decided to give it a try yesterday evening.

We picked a "Sampling Menu" (featuring some of the dishes shown in the TV show), and we had something like 4 or 5 different kind of appetizers (including mussels sauté and salmon carpaccio-- two of my favourites!), two first courses (delicious squid ink gnocchetti!!!) and two second courses (a tiny fried paranza ♥) for 39 euros, beverages included. It's quite cheap for a fish-only menu, considering that it was quite filling despite the "sampling" formula--
So, yeah, we decided that we're going there again, this time trying their pizza, which just looked wonderful! (and Cannavacciuolo never complained about it XD)
Sure, I can't tell how "realistic" these kind of "reality shows" are, it's a bit weird for me to think the talking with a Chef may fix strained relationships in just a few days, but the food was indeed nice and worth a visit :D
--What about you guys? Have you ever visited a "reality"'s restaurant (I guess that only guys from the UK and USA can answer that D:) out of curiosity..? What about the results?
And now I'm off to work on those damn webcomics! --ADDIOS!
