I had NO idea you hadn’t tried my version, which is neither sweet nor wet, and is much lighter than L’Oca’s. Let’s create an occasion when I can make it again. Maybe a fall dinner party?

I love L’Oca’s location, being right next to Eastern State Penitentiary, and wide sidewalk for outdoor dining. We sat inside, but at a corner table between two open windows, so we got the best of both worlds. The service was wonderful–attentive but not overly so. The menu is small but intriguing (though as a vegetarian, I had only one main course option available to me).

The ravioli was delicious (although having just had Lisa’s pumpkin ravioli, to be honest, I liked that more flavorful filling better)–a perfect bite included a small piece of sage leaf, a bit of ravioli, and some of the crushed walnuts that topped the dish. It was hearty without being too heavy.

I’ve never tried Lisa’s tiramisu (though I hope to), so I can’t compare, but I really enjoyed L’Oca’s tiramisu. I didn’t find it needed lightening–I thought it was flavorful without being overly sweet or syrupy.

Lisa, if I missed something you wanted me to mention, just let me know!
