Locanda del Lago: Scurrying about the promenade around noon on January 1st we were disappointed by the number of closed restaurants. By process of eliminating all the closed restaurants and those without seating and those too far away, we ended up at this pasta/pizza place. Not recommended. Good location, but the bruschetta was cool, did not appear to be drizzled with olive oil, but was drizzled with flavorless lukewarm mozzarella. The pizza was pretty good, thin crust. The lasagna was unavailable so I had the carbonara...slightly mooshy linguine combined with a sauce that had the requisite ham, but lacked in that "gotta have more" quality. Too pricey to be enjoyed.
Mimi's Cafe: This is the second time I've been to a Mimi's Cafe. Spinach and artichoke appetizer, chicken brie dijon entree. Not bad, not truly noteworthy, except their carrot cake is quite good. I was expecting a strong dijon sauce (and doubting that it would work) so I was surprised by the not-so-intense creamy dijon sauce that didn't clash with the brie. Last time I think I enjoyed the French Onion soup and fish and chips. I heard that their blackened fish might be preferable.
