Double Date Night About a month ago my husband decided we needed an indulgent meal from Uber Fancy Pants destination Casa Bovina. The Big Baby Childrens joined us. The Fine Dining experts they are, it was a return visit. For the 2 of us it was a first in the House of Cow. Although I thought I'd properly done my homework in studying the ever changing menu, it was yet another updated version at our table. Our server said they are likely still able to make items from recent menus but we all stayed with the current one. The childrens ordered Specialty cocktails and my husband a glass of Cabernet. We started with like half of the appetizers and passed around the table. The Burrata and Focaccia which was delivered later on, the bread was nice but the other didn't have much flavor. The salad was yummy. They all Loved the Coiettas made from Filet Mignon, also strangely the only beef ordered. The big surprise was the Casserole, similar to the Thanksgiving staple, but on steroids... huge hit! Onto the entrees. The Boy Child decided on the spectacle that is Tajarin Della Forma. Pasta rolled in a giant flaming cheese wheel done tableside. He thought it was one of the best dishes he'd ever had! It was sooooo rich but I'm glad I got to try it. The Girl Child went with the Gnocchi covered in seafood. This is totally her jam, it was excellent as well. My husband was drooling over his Duck entree. Served with Polenta and Cherries, etc., he said it was the best he'd ever had! I chose the Black Cod. The fish was like Buh.Ter. it literally melted in my mouth and the sauce was heavenly. Desserts to share. The Chocolate Mi Cuit with raspberry accompaniments. The childrens especially enjoyed this one. The Creme Brulee, which I'm not normally a fan of, was ridiculous. I had multiple bites before passing it along. Plus a couple more after dinner drinks. The Boy loved his Sweet Cherry Rye and Stone 75 but the Girl Child and I didn't really care for ours. Our server Emma-Frances was new but very knowledgeable and attentive. I think the staff got a kick out of watching us picking apart and sampling every component. Menus for our meal are in the photos. I understand now how this place has earned its reputation. You are paying for an Experience. Definitely The place for a special occasion! Originally posted to EAT IT in Lincoln, NE on Facebook
