Touch of Italy, Rehoboth Beach, DE

While we were down at the shore last weekend, we went to Touch of Italy in Rehoboth Beach, DE for lunch. The guys at the shop are from the Bronx and they have created a real Italian deli and pastry shop. We were told that their mother makes all the pastries.
We had a couple of their sandwiches which were served on homemade semolina Italian bread.
I had their #2- the Don Orazio which had hot capicolla, handmade mozzarella and sun dried peppers. I kind of wish the bread were more "crusty", instead it felt more "toasty", but the spicy meat, homemade cheese and sweet peppers were delicious.
Some of our group also ordered the #9- Italian combo- with mortadella, parma cotto ham, genoa salami, capocollo, provolone, and olive oil. Most everyone added hot peppers, too. This was also a pretty great tasting sandwich.
We picked up some great Italian dried sausages from Taste of Italy. It will now be a must-go place now whenever we're down at the shore.

Espuma, Rehoboth Beach, DE

While at the shore for Labor Day, we went Espuma (Portuguese for "foam") in Rehoboth Beach, DE for dinner one evening. It was nice to be at the beach and to have a little foodie experience.
For starters, Fougoo ordered the "rethought" bacon and egg salad. I had the Black Mission fig salad with endive and a parmesan foam.

For an entree, I ordered the trio of Berkshire pork which came with a roast pork, a pork loin, and a pork fricassee all bathed in a nice foam.

Redneckhunter got the special, the veal Ossobucco, which was spectacularly good.
Kelly ordered the Espuma vegetarian extravaganza which came with 3 cold and 4 hot vegetable dishes. Kelly's fav was the sweet pea ravioli. I finished off one dish which had some bitter melon in it.

For dessert, we tried two items: the "chocolate, chocolate, chocolate", which consisted of a molten chocolate cake, a chocolate pots de creme, and a small chocolate milkshake and Jay's ice cream sandwich, which was 2 citrus merigues surrounding hazelnut ice cream.
