Hope I'm spelling that right....I'll be dining at Ruffino's in BR for the first time tomorrow night. Intend to be a good Catholic and not eat meat as it is Friday, but that is sometimes difficult for me, because shellfish sometimes gives me gout. Anyone have a recommendation from their menu?
Under the circumstances, even if they're "iffy", eat whatever you want - including meat. Be a good Catholic by spending the rest of the day by developing your faith in other ways such as: - praying more - learning something about Catholicism by reading something in the catechism like the section on salvation. - reading Scripture. Start with the daily readings. - going to confession after a real, true examination of conscience - renewing your participation in the New Covenant by going to mass and participating in the Eucharist. - fasting or denying yourself in some other way during the rest of the day. These ways of developing your faith are much more important than menu choices.
Crabmeat cheesecake is a must. I only get to Ruffino's once a year or so, but this is an absolute must. I've heard their steaks are good, but I haven't tried one. Go ahead, good Catholic, live a little.
As close as I live to it and as much as I love Italian food, I am kind of ashamed to admit that I have never been. I heard it's a little on the expensive side.
My parents' 50th. My older brother's treat - he has "a huge gift certificate." (not every man can say that :rofl
Love that place. Staple for me when I am in town. When I lived there went once a week (Close to where I lived)
I don't go very often. It's a long drive out there for Italian with Gino's, Digiullo's, and Pinetta's just a few blocks away.
