I have written about Sorella before, and it has become one of my favorite NYC restaurants. My fam and I dined there last week, before my 30th Birthday soiree, and it was again, outstanding! If you have not been to Sorella yet, go asap, because it is a wonderful and amazing restaurant!

I love this place so much that it makes me want to write a poem, so without further ado, here was our meal..in a poem.

"Sorella With The Beckermans", March 2nd, 2010.

Ah, breadsticks you are so addictive
My father can't stop eating you, as I predicted
Pate de Fegato, oh how you tease me
With fried egg and candied bacon, oh how you please me

Wow, all this cheese and meat, I feel greedy
Some perfect Arugula salad will surely feed me
And a splendid Hearst Ranch Beef Carne Cruda, what the heck!
Ah, and one more piece of this mouth-watering Speck!

Crispy Veal Sweetbreads with quince bacon marmalade
An amazing snack, if I keep eating you, I shall never get laid
Save me Ligurian anchovies with salsa verde, lemon butter, and hazelnuts, enough said.
Your simplicity and perfect flavor will let me dream well on your crispy flatbread

Let us end with the best gelatos I have ever had, yea all seven
These are so amazing, I feel like I'm in heaven!
But, wait, there's more! Bomboloni filled with Meyer Lemon Creme, oh how flirty!

There is no better place I'd rather be, with fantastic food, for turning thirty.
