These ravioli I had in 'Olive Garden', an Italian restaurant in Leiden. The place was completely packed on a Friday night, and even though we had made reservations for 9:30, which was late enough for me, we could only be seated at 10. We had a chef's surprise dinner. After a starter of carpaccio, which I always like immensly, we were served these ravioli. The ravioli were filled with something like mascarpone cream and cheese, and had a lovely sauce with mushrooms and truffles. The only thing I didn't like was their shape, too unprofessional. But I guess their idea was to make them as homely as they could, afraid the guests might think they were store-bought.
