After the previous night's ordeal, we were ready to eat a good meal! We spontaneously chose this place to eat after hiking for 4 hours that day and browsing around Restaurant Row.
What I LOVED:
1. Grilled Octopus with 'Borlotti Marinati' and Spicy Limoncello Vinaigrette $19 (SUPER tender and great flavor!)
2. Homemade Orecchiette with Sweet Sausage and Rapini $26 (SO GOOD!!!)
3. 'Brasato al Barolo' with Horseradish 'Gremolata' $38 (I really liked the polenta...)
Everything I ate was SUPER delicious! My tummy was so happy after this meal. Batali definitely impressed me! The waiter was very attentive and made great recommendations.
The only con was that there were out of the Spagettini. Boo.
My friend had:
1. Warm Lamb's Tongue with Chanterelles and a 3-Minute Egg $17 (I really liked the egg! YUM)
2. Rabbit Porchetta with Brussels Sprouts, Pancetta and Lemon $38 (this was too peppery for my friend...less on the pepper please!!!)
Another note, the table for 2 was the longest ever...it was hard to hear my friend talk... ambiance was classy & clean.
PS. The bartender had a upward mustache that was really cool!
I would definitely recommend and go back! =D
