For a friend's birthday last night, we decided to seize the opportunity to use our Culinary Week coupon (available at www.CorvallisCulinaryWeek.com) at dinner. We first tried to go to Aqua, but it was packed at 6 pm on a Wednesday night! Go Aqua! We ended up at Iovino's and it was great. The restaurant seemed almost full, but we got a table for eight easily.
The Chef's Plate special ($10 with a Culinary Week coupon) had a huge variety of yummy treats, and was definitely a full meal. A couple of different salads, crab cakes, shrimp, fried polenta sticks, sliced Italian meats ... and a few other things too! And, as always, the bread with individual plates of oil and vinegar was amazing to start with.
