Rucola, Funghi & Piave
Since we have had every salad on the menu, except for this one, my husband suggested we give this salad a try.
It was the most boring salad on their menu. It was basically an arugula salad with tasteless shaved crimini mushrooms and thankfully the very flavorful piave cheese. Piave is an Italian cow’s milk cheese from the Veneto in northern Italy. It is very similar to my favorite, Parmigiano Reggiano.
Meatballs al Forno
The meatballs were packed with flavor and were seated on the delicious pool of marinara sauce. It also came with two perfectly grilled and delicious bread pieces.
Pane Pomodoro
Early Girl tomatos, Speck, Burrata & Pickled Ramps
This was my favorite dish. The tomatoes were very ripe and sweet. speck had a great smoky flavor and burrata added creaminess to the perfectly crisp bread.
Peaches and Cream Gelato Pie
Greek Yogurt, Peach Compote, Belli e Brutti
The Greek yogurt gelato was very nice and tart. Peaches were sweet and balanced the tartness of the yogurt. The brutti cookies gave a nice chocolaty crunch to this dish.
