L'amore L'artusi

The way L'artusi lists each item on the menu is a perfect indication of what your taste buds will experience. Whether Thompson is sending out crudo or one of his hand crafted rustic pastas, you taste each ingredient put into the dish. Your mouth appreciates the ingredient first as its own and then for how well it works with the others. My choice- the Mezzaluna: Sweet corn, Aleppo, Parmesan. You do not need anymore than the five pieces placed in front of you, but you will find yourself swallowing very slowly to retain the buttery creation that you might not expect from blending a sweet, a peppery, and a savory ingredient.
