We started missing Italian food after coming back from vacation so we went to Bravo Cucina Italiana in West Nyack, NY to feed the craving. I had the Nokia E75 with me for photo samples and share with you what we had for dinner.

Crispy Mozzarella Ravioli. Fried cheese-stuffed ravioli served with marinara, basil and creamy horseradish sauce

Calamari Fritti. Lightly battered, fried to a crisp golden brown, served with creamy horseradish sauce and marinara

Pesto Tortelloni. Fresh cheese and spinach stuffed pasta tossed in housemade basil-pine nut pesto sauce and topped with sun dried tomatoes, red onions and pine nuts

Sicilian Pizza. Layered with sweet Italian sausage, pepperoni, meatballs, mushrooms, banana peppers, Mozzarella and Provolone

Wood-Fired Chicken Marsala. chicken breast with mushroom Marsala wine sauce, Tuscan mashed potatoes and pan roasted green beans.

The food was filling but not tasty. I liked the calamari, but everything else was average. I remembered better food the last time were there. Or maybe we had better and more authentic food during our recent trip in Italy that this one did not come close.

The Nokia E75 features a 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash. All the photos were taken on automatic mode with the flash firing 4 out of 5 times. The one photo that the Nokia E75’s camera automatically decided not to flash turned out to be the best-looking in my opinion.

If you see that the ambient light is better for your subject, go down to the flash mode, then select off. It’s pretty similar to what you would do on a dedicated camera. I was too hungry to take the photos over again without the flash.
