Hot nights at Vin Santo's in Middleton

Ok, this is technically in Middleton, but who are we to squabble over geography?

Recommended as a wonderful new lesser known Italian place, we had to try it. It really had the small town charm even though we were a short drive away from campus. They have actual daily specials that change daily instead of 'highlighting' a meal and calling it a special like a lot of other restaurants. Vin Santo' seems to pride themselves in fresh Italian products and seafood oriented dishes. We went with a pesto linguini and a homemade Italian sausage with a spicy tomato sauce. The pesto had an extremely fresh taste and was not quite like anything I have had before, good pesto without being overly oily tasting. Beth's sausage dish had a lot of sausage and was quite tasty, lots of spices. Our waitress warned us that the 'sausage' dish was pretty hot, to put it mildly. It was the hottest thing we've ever had that could still be considered tomato based!

For dessert we tried the tiramisu and the bread pudding. These dessert-to-plate ratio was possibly the highest of any restaurant we have been to, very large pieces and very yummy. If you happen to find yourself on that side of town, check out a book at the Middleton library and wander over the Vin Santo for good Italian and large desserts.
