Episode 72: Pasta, Pee Battles, and “Meditation Wine” with Chef Dario from Rosmarino
This week, we carb-load into nap mode with special guest Dario Pisoni, owner of Rosmarino Osteria Italiana and Gusto Deli in Newberg, Oregon! 🍝🍷 After a decade of serving up authentic Italian cuisine in the Willamette Valley — and surviving COVID after moving into his current spot in 2018 — Dario is still going strong, bringing a little slice of Piemonte, Italy right to our backyard.
In between sips of “meditation wine” and plotting pasta heists, Mike and Alex tackle the important issues:
Alex’s dog vs. a local bobcat in a literal pissing contest 🐕🆚🐈⬛
The dangers of eating pickled herring (pro tip: wash thoroughly) 🐟😖
Why Italians silently judge solo wine drinkers 🍷👀
Jerry’s birthday bash at a Hillsboro Hops game (featuring too many hot dogs and enough Fanta to hydrate a small country) ⚾🌭
Dario spills secrets about his tight kitchen miracles, hosting 14-wine tastings (yes, fourteen), and what it’s like leading dreamy food and wine tours through Italy — pasta-making included! 🇮🇹✨ Plus, hear about his upcoming projects that might just expand “Tapphoria” into “Tapphorio!”
Grab a spritz (or a pitcher) and join us for a hilarious, delicious dive into food, wine, and questionable animal behavior.
