Description
Chef-owner Theo Gilbert is a stickler for buzz words like seasonal, local and organic, but he's not all talk. In fact, ingredient availability dictates the menu so much that by the time we report on our latest cold-weather eats at this charming, brick-walled neighborhood spot, they may not be around. Get in quick for capellacci di zucca, or "pope's hats," with squashes and parmigiano in a sage-brown butter sauce or the whole grain pappardelle with Paulina Market sausage, roasted peppers and onions. The tiny kitchen gets hit hard on busy nights so, for the wait, start with tortellini in brodo–a white truffle scented broth, but save room for the honey-lemon panna cotta.
