The sugar pie pumkin bread pudding with crème anglaise and pomegranate is the best dessert I’ve had anywhere in a long time. The Guiness stout ginger cake with Meyer lemon custard and candied ginger was a close second. Although the warm chocolate baby cake with cold foamy sauce tasted like some salt might have been spilled in the pan before baking, it might be worth trying again, even though Gambardella’s has set my molten chocolate cake standard is pretty high.

With the number of times in the last few days that I have contemplated just calling French Laundry to see if there have been any cancellations and the countless laps I did around Whole Foods yesterday, it's a good thing there are still some tasty and affordable restaurants close to home. Another truly standout dish at Gambardella's: the Penne con Melanzane Arrosta, a dish of eggplant roasted until it has a slightly caramelized flavor in a spicy red sauce with shaved ricotta salata. The pizzas aren't my favorite (mmm, Cheese Board...), but the molten chocolate cake really is the best around. (Make sure to order it with your entree.) Definitely a fitting "official" birthday meal.
