Dan and I went to dinner at L'Artusi as I had read so many reviews that their pasta is the best in NYC. The environment wasn't the best - a little snotty and we waited a bit to be seated, and I had to make a reservation a month in advance for a late seating on a Monday night. BUT the food was as good if not better than I had hoped, so overall worth it. The shocking part was the best dish was completely meat-free. We have since learned how to cook this dish, but their version is still the best I've had.
 |
| Hamachi Tartare - grapes, chives, lemon and walnuts. What sounds kind of like a strange combo was actually perfection. Super balanced. It had acid, salt, crunch, plus fresh and perfectly sliced hamachi. We ate this super quickly. |
 |
| This was some kind of pasta special with short rib. Good but not as good as the dish below |
 |
| Signature spaghetti - with garlic, chilies, and paremesan. What sounds so simple was legit the best pasta I've eaten. EVER. |
 |
| Another shot. The breadcrumbs were heavenly. Perfect texture, size, and absorbed all the delish garlicy cheese sauce |
 |
| Our drinks. I really don't remember what they were but they were good though took too long to be brought out. |
 |
| Charred Octopus - with potatoes, chilies, olives, and pancetta. Excellent texture |
 |
| Olive oil cake - raisin marmellata, vin santo, creme fraiche mousse. AMAZING. The cake itself was so moist and the creme fraiche was a perfect compliment. I even didn't mind the raisins, which I normally don't like in my dessert. |
