Poppy Hill Tuscan Kitchen

Taylor was in town to visit this weekend and we went out for a nice dinner on Saturday night. I had been wanting to go to a different restaurant downtown so we decided to try Poppy Hill Tuscan Kitchen.


It is a basement restaurant located in Fredericksburg, VA. Do not be fooled by the casual appearance of this restaurant....the food here is delicious! It has been named as one of the top 10 farm-to-table restaurants in the US, using local ingredients to create culinary masterpieces. 


We started with the House Antipasto which consisted of imported cheeses (mozzarella, bleu, and herbed spread), prosciutto, salami, roasted garlic, veggies, and crostini. It was a delicious start to a wonderful evening and there was plenty to share (probably about 4 servings). 


Then came the main event: Taylor ordered Chicken Parmesan with Tagliatelle pasta and I ordered a special which was Pumpkin Ravioli. Taylor's dinner was really good but mine was FABULOUS! I don't think I can find words to describe the deliciousness....my mouth is watering just thinking about it. It was a wonderful combination of melt-in-your mouth fresh pasta, rich pumpkin, creamy butter, and hint of cinnamon. More like a dessert than dinner, and I ate every bite of it!

I highly recommend this place, it is AMAZING :)
