Dinner at Carrino Provisions in Jersey City, NJ

Dan and I tried to go to Talde in JC but the line was like an hour long, so instead we went to Carrino Provisions next door, which is kind of like a mini version of Eataly.  The food for the most part was very delicious and tasted fresh.  The negative was that some of the food was a tad too salty.  Still, the octopus pasta was incredible and certainly warrants a return trip.
Complimentary focaccia and olive oil.  The focaccia was nice and soft and buttery

Seafood salad with lemon and celery.  Tasty but a small portion :(  The seafood was fresh tasting with good texture

Meatball gratin, boccacini, house marinara - great texture but a little salty

Bruschetta - mushrooms in vinegar, speck, shaved hazelnuts - a very tasty and unique combo of ingredients.  This is where I started getting full

Campanelli, braised octopus puttanesca, roasted beef fat, fennel - GET THIS.  If you eat one thing from here, this should be it  I'm sad I was already kind of full when this came out

Cannoli - also get this

Peanut butter tiramisu - Dan was in heaven
