Il Porto in Old Town Alexandria

After returning home from the conference in Baltimore, the husband and I went out to an early dinner at Il Porto. I love the back of the menu which describes the history of the building. A truly historic place, it's been everything from a brothel to a front for a Nazi family. We ordered calamari and two pasta dishes. The waiter forget or did not hear the calamari order, which ended up to be fine since small salads are served along with the pastas.
Linguine with Mussels, Calamari and Shrimp in a light tomato sauce.
Linguine with White Clam Sauce.
The pasta had a nice toothsome quality to it. 
After a nice meal together, we headed home where I promptly fell asleep for hours.
