Back in a time long ago, NakedBob was a server and we've heard tell of his restaurant hijinks. Cafe Vinoteca is part of his old stomping grounds and he learned a lot from that place. Specifically how to make timpano, a delicious cornucopia of pasta, meats, eggs and more all cooked inside a crust and served like a slice of cake. One year at Sea Ranch he even made it for us!
On the last Thursday of each month, Cafe Vinoteca makes timpano. And it's huge! So we had to go. Much to Bob's surprise there is only one server left that he used to work with and she was ours for the night!
This place is a bit of an institution and caters to the older crowd that lives around the restaurant. It's in one of the shopping centers that has the inside hallways that you just don't see anymore. And the food is good! Only downside is on a hot night the place is a bit warm.
Pork chops, cheese tortellini, soup, salad...we had some of it all. But the timpano stole the show. Layers of pasta, hard-boiled eggs, sausage, ham, grilled veggies with a splash of red sauce. Enough to feed two generously! If you're in the area, try this place out. And go on the last Thursday so you have the timpano option.
And in case you think we've suddenly classed this blog up, never fear. Best conversation of the night, all said in quick succession.

"What? Are we doing that now" - Crabby
"We haven't been doing that all night?" - Nairb
Yup, still us.
