ON THE MENU

St. Ana is a restaurant that takes it reputation for classic Roman food very seriously, but that still leaves room for some creative touches.

One is an antipasto assortment that includes slivers of pungent 'formaggio di fossa' drizzled with honey, 'prosciutto' and melon, sage flavored 'borlotti' beans and seasonal grilled vegetables.

A delectable first course is the 'lasagna' with truffle sauce and 'porcini' mushrooms, a tantalizing blend of two very seductive tastes, or the home cooking flavor of 'gnocchetti' (little potato dumplings) with tomato, eggplant and mozzarella.

Fish is excellent here, but a special treat awaits the meat lover - pezza di manzo all erbe, prime beef rolled with fresh herbs, marinaded in extra virgin olive oil and then grilled to perfection.

The grand finale could be 'gelato di marron glaces al cognac,' chestnut 'gelato' with cognac.

The extensive wine list at St. Ana averages about $16.00 a bottle and includes some of Italy's best labels.
