Salad & Friends  - Wildeshausen

I find it quite ironic that in order to find an incredibly good Italian meal, I need to go to Wildeshausen, Germany, and walk into AL-TO. My friend and I were greeted warmly, and given our choice of seats. After a few minutes, a waiter came by to take our drink order. Mine was Konig Pils, an excellent beer. My friend and I chatted about world events for a short while, sipping our drinks, and then it became time to order. I might add that the ambiance of this restaurant is quite relaxing and even convivial. I am a huge fan of gorgonzola cheese, and I have no idea why. But I love it ! I ordered the Schweine Filet Gorgonzola with pasta. A rather large green salad came almost immediately, and had just the right amount of house Italian dressing. A minor complaint, the croutons were too few and too small, but life goes on. The gorgonzola pasta and pork filet arrived steaming hot! Oh, the vapors from that dish . . . The pasta was cooked perfectly, just a wee bit softer than al dente, and generous in amount. The pork filet was tender, of quite adequate size, and grilled very nicely. Several sprigs of steamed broccoli gave the dish a nice color and texture balance. However, the star of this show was definitely the gorgonzola sauce, plenty of it, and simply delicious. My friend was also quite pleased with his meal. All in all, I'm so happy that this new restaurant is serving such high quality food, and with good service, as well. I might note that the cost was quite reasonable, 14 Euros for my dish, and 3 E for the Konig. I'm a happy tourist.
