Succulent Sundays (Piattini Wine Cafe): A Weekly Celebration of My Favorite Personal Food Photography

Repost: I'm sure Piattini will rise above after the recent building fire!

Meeting up with Josephine Oliviero Megwa (Owner of Piattini Wine Cafe) is always a treat and it had been way to long.  During our catch us session, in between her being the fabulous hostess she naturally is, she sent out a couple of amazing small plates. 

 I'd just had a relatively large brunch date with my girlfriends, but couldn't resist the beautiful seafood in front of me.  

Lobster, with it's glowing sunset colored split shell and tender, sweet, inviting flesh set upon perfectly cooked risotto.  The lovely clams, bathed in white wine sauce and diced tomato served as a reminder that summer is beautiful, but fleeting and that tomatoes are definitely back in season!
