"La
Perla - gem from Italy"
- Dennis Wood, The Chronicle Herald

La Perla, established 1984.
In
Northern Italy, food is still traditional.
In a land where the climate is mild and the soil fertile,
fresh cream, butter,
herbs, meat and pasta are the main ingredients for the
dishes of the region.
A meal
in Italy usually starts with antipasti or soup, followed by
pasta,
then a main course of meat, fish or poultry, generally
ending with a salad.
The next course is usually a dessert, such as gelato, fresh
fruit, or tortes.
Wine is the natural accompaniment.
