Description

This small, sweet neighborhood restaurant is a nice place for a plate of homemade pasta with seasonal vegetables, or some sausage and a glass of wine. Chef Scott Bridi makes all the charcuterie and pastas by hand, and he has a thing for neck. He fashions dry-cured sausage from pork and lamb neck, and whips up duck neck rillettes. The cured lamb neck is delicious--pink, fat-mottled rounds with a spicy, meaty funk. We also loved a toast topped with whipped lardo butter that vaporizes on the tongue, with brussels sprouts, and almonds. The garganelli with roasted cauliflower has that nice, chewy character that good homemade pasta does, and a beef pot roast sandwich on a crusty baguette won't change your life, but is tasty and warming.
