"On a late Friday afternoon I starved. I moved out of the park and came to Paella Tapas Wine Bar Restaurant in downtown Norwalk, a city I had never been before. I came before they were opened for dinner, but they sat me anyway. The waiter helped me to order a glass of wine that turned out to be a delicious Rioja 92 by Wine Spectator. 2016 Marques de Caceres Reserva. Even at $15 a glass, a really good value and a welcome surprise. I ordered a salad with roasted red pepper, mozzarella, tomatoes and olive oil served with fresh, crispy salad. It could not have been refreshing. The waiter suggested to the shrimp with pure Cici beans. The pure beans were well seasoned with flavors that I could not quite recognize, but were very interesting and I would like to eat more. The six shrimps were perfectly carburized, but still moist and tender and garnished with strips of tarpaulins. I think the record was $12.95. Amazing. I had the orange flan for dessert, which came with stripes of orange peel marmelade and flavored with anise. I'm glad I ordered it. I ate alone in the bar, which was really nice and casual. The service was wonderful, the cook obviously was a real professional and the prices were extremely low for the quality of food they serve. The food in Paella was an unexpected treasure that I accidentally found in a city I never had before. It was the kind of meal you hope to go to a restaurant for the first time. What a stroke of luck. I can't wait to go back."
