| - I've been to V. Picasso twice within the past 6 months. I have only ordered the tapas and haven't had a chance to try their entrees for dinner, but I enjoyed eating there.
Honestly, I've always felt that tapas at any restaurant in any city can be a bit pricey. I think based upon the quality of food and the burst of flavors that V. Picasso has to offer in just a few bites, the price is worth it. Really, the price is moderate compared to other tapas places I've been to in Chicago, at least.
My favorite item to order from V. Picasso is the cheese plate. Who knew that gorgonzola cheese with strawberries and french onions could taste so good? There is also something sexy about eating brie with walnuts and grapes. Those flavors together.. whew, stirs up the libido! :) It reminds me of the scene in "Ratatouille" when Remy describes the taste of the strawberry and cheese together to his brother. Also, the fig spread is oh so yummy.
Their empanadas that are filled one, with goat cheese, and the other with chorizo is yummy. The goat cheese empanada has a sweet taste to it. Chorizo is always yummy.
It looks as though their menus change every so often. My husband and I had their asparagus fries.. and I love asparagus as they are, but these were so crispy and tasted even better when paired with the spicy creme that accompanied it.
Their creme brulee is just pure awesome! They had a special mojito flavor creme brulee when we went, but I went with the original bay lavendar creme brulee. The taste of the bay leaf and the lavendar just sits on top of your lips the whole time... even after you leave the restaurant. Yummy!!
