WHERE: Del Posto 85 10th Ave, New York
MOOD: Traditional and formal
PRICE: Five courses for $115
WHEN WE WENT: Thursday dinner
WHAT: MB and I both enjoyed the 5 course tasting menu. I had:
• Beef & Truffle Carpaccio with Sunchoke Spuma, Sage Grissini & Sunflowers: Buttery!
• Tortello Puzzone with Taleggio Dolce & Black Truffle Butter: one of the best dishes I have ever had
• Spaghetti with Dungeness Crab, Sliced Jalapeno & Minced Scallion: In a word: delicious! Watch a great little video of how they make it here.
• Cacciucco with Burrida & Sweet Shrimp alla Buzara: the only item that I didn't hands down love as it was too salty for me.
At the end of the meal, a cheese grater was brought to the table holding various sweets which consisted of: chocoloate covered lollipops made with olive oil gelato, bomboloni - which are small doughnuts filled with vanilla orange cream, polenta crostata and candied grapefruit. All were wonderful but the candied grapefruit was especially surprising and smile inducing.
TRY: Tortello Puzzone – it nearly melted my brain it was so good.
SKIP: The Cacciucco if you are sensitive to salt
SERVICE: Very formal. An army of servers waited on us. One even brought a small chair for my handbag.
REPEAT?: YES. There's a reason Del Posto is the first restaurant in New York City to get 4 stars from the New York Times in the last 36 years – because it's exceptional.
MOST NOTABLE: The complex and intense flavours.
