Ruggeri's: antique-ing it
Ruggeri’s, an old-school Italian restaurant, was last seen in Dallas at the Quadrangle (in the space previously occupied by Mediterraneo, which is now a classy Ital mom&pop called Riccardi’s). Well, hi, there are two new mini-Ruggeri’s, both in sibling antique malls. The first opened last wk at Vineyard Antique Mall in Colleyville; the second opens next wk at Vineyards Antique Mall in Plano (which has been open about 6 mths at the NE corner of Preston & Park). Though still ID’d as Italian, the menu for the Colleyville location has your typical antique-mall food: salads, chick-sal samwiches, quiche, w/ the only "Italian" item being spumoni.

Heilige Scheiße! Tiramisu is Italian!
Cappuccino Pie could impersonate Italian. Molto Bello!
His Holiness is sorta correct, in that tiramisu is just about as "italian" as spumoni (which is barely italian at all - more ital-american than italian). here's a good link on the history of tiramisu. meanwhile, i beg the pope's forgiveness and give a nod to ron, as usual, for being clever.
With all respect to other famous commenters on this blog such as Donald Trump and Tom Cruise, I think it's more impressive to have a Papal visit.
Just because it's relatively recent doesn't mean tiramisu is in a class with the mutterfucking arschloches who invented spumoni.
altho i'm not sure that to know this pope is to love him. he's already beginning to seem a bit, what's the word, vulgar. but a pope is a pope is a pope
It's my day off, goddammit. And there's nowhere to get a good
heifweizen in rome. urp.
ruggeri's in an antiuqe mall? too weird. did you check to see who owners/mcanagers are? could be possible it's tom, i guess. last sighting of ruggeri's was in colleyville; see guidelive. also on things italian on the menu; check out the spinach salad -- artichoke hearts, gorgonzola cheese and CREAMY ITALIAN.
these malls look like the perfect places to see your limited edition starbucks containers, and one is in plano. how convenient!
just as i was confused about the true italian-ness of this menu, i was also confused about the "colleyville" location. i thought the one listed on guidelive was this one.
but yes, it IS tom; apparently he is friends w/ the fellow who owns these antique malls
meanwhile how nice of ms.ery to bring up my very favorite coffee emporium
menu doesn't give the most important offering for an antique mall tearoom: the flavored iced tea. it's gotta have one to be authentic. mango is the most popular tearoom tea, but maybe there is some more italian fruit ruggeri's can use.
