Ciao Baby's

Italian Bread with Parmesan Chunks, Olive Oil & Vinaigrette

So my bestie and I went to check out  Ciao Baby in Massapequa, New York. 

They have a Lunch Pre Fix Menu with a $12.95 category and a $16.95 category. 

For this price, you get an appetizer, your main course and a dessert. 

We both ordered the same exact trio. Go figure, lol. 

For our appetizer, we ordered the Calamari Arrabiata Semolina. Yes we ended up with two orders, one for each of us. Yes, they were both a normal sized appetizer. Lots of calamari = 2 happy ladies. The calamari came with two dipping sauces: a yummy plum tomato sauce, and a more spicy one with hot Italian cherry peppers... Oww! :)

Eggplant Rollitini

For our main course we each ordered the Eggplant Rollitini. They come with macaroni, for mine I ordered the mashed potato alternative, and yes, they placed that rollitini right on top of the mashed potatoes. YuM!

Dessert is important, and I'm glad with the choice we made! 

We ordered the Homemade Ice Box Cake, two of them! 

I can't even describe how delicious this was. 

Graham Crackers layered with thick, rich chocolatey pudding, 

served with a side of homemade whipped cream 

(the lightest, fluffiest, more tasty whipped cream ever) 

and a strawberry slice. So sinful but so good!

Maybe this picture *might* do it some justice:
