Went back to North for dinner with another group of friends.
I love how food just bring people together. Truly breaking breads together is a magical thing.
To start: I love the Zucca Chips - truly addictive. I can eat the whole bowl by myself.
Another encore of the Truffle Bread. My only complaint is that I wish the bread was warmer to melt the cheese.
Here's where things differ than the last recent trip. It was recommended to get Squid Ink Tonnarelli - I don't usually have squid ink pasta, not because I have any aversion, just that not everyone can make it well. This came with shrimp and calamari, the sauce is spicer than the other tomato sauce based dishes, but it truly brought out the flavors.
Then we went traditional and got Bolognese - which has the traditional meat sauce and pappardelle pasta. The sauce was less spicy than the squid ink pasta, but it's solid on the meat sauce. No complaint from anyone at the table.
Since we have kids at the table, we went with the Pig, which has pepperoni, salumi, Italia sausage. Hmmm, meat! So good.
For dessert, which by this time, I'm super stuffed. So I settled for affogato. So good... one giant scoop of vanilla ice cream, coffee beans and a shot of espresso. I did skip the coffee beans though, the last thing I need is espresso + coffee beans and bounce off of the walls. It was nice nonetheless.
As usual, reservations are highly encouraged. Mainly because the area is super busy, so having a locked on a table only save yourself grief.
