This week I visit Mia Rosa, the new Italian restaurant in Forest Park Southeast's Grove:

When it comes to food, I'm no hidebound traditionalist. I pair red wine with fish, I eat sushi rolls never see nor imagined in Japan, and I don't throw the menu across the restaurant when a dish is described in quotation marks. Kumquat "carpaccio"? Hey, sure, whatever. Bring it on.

But even I have my limits.

Check back tomorrow to see what I think.
