| - I cam to Nostrano for lunch with a friend and we did it up $100-$120 big.
For our appetizer we ordered the panzanella which is basically toasted bread with fava beans, tossed with ricotta and what tasted like olive oil and herbs. It was good, whatever it had on it!
For our entrees, we split the orecchiette with fennel sausage and brussel sprouts and the pappardelle with lamb ragu and a hint of cinnamon. They were very different, but both absolutely fantastic. My friend made orgasm-type faces the whole time, no joke.
For dessert we got the basque cake and the baked ganache. The ganache was absurdly rich and wonderful. I didn't have much of a basque cake, but I do remember liking it! Not as much as the ganache though, cause nothing can live up to overwhelming chocolate!
For drinks we both had two cocktails. I started with an old fashioned which was, as it should be, strong and bourbon-y. It came in a small glass with a large round ice ball which I absolutely loved. For my second drink I had a summery drink much like lemonade which, unlike the old fashioned, was sweet and perky. Absolutely delicious!
Overall a wonderful meal. Definitely hurt the wallet, but considering the amount and quality of the food we got I would say that our lunch was an absolute winner!
