The only signage for Chi Spacca is a cleaver.
The space and menu are clean and simple, too. Even so, it was hard to order because insomniac and I wanted to eat everything at this latest addition to the Mozza empire.
It's tough being us.
Hot fresh bread (complimentary) and affetati misti ($24).
What is that vowel-filled tongue-twister up there? It's a house-cured meat paradise -- bacon tenderloin pate, pork butter, tellicherry pepper salami, fennel salami, speck, and capocollo. Meat. Paradise.
Baby Romanesco cauliflower, crushed lemon bagna cauda ($12).
More kids would eat their vegetables if their vegetables were like this.
Lamb neck stracotto ($27).
My fave of the night. Tender and luscious. insomniac took leftovers home in a box. Then she ate them as soon as she walked through the door. So much for leftovers.
Red wattle pork "segreto" ($24). Under a bed of greens. And then revealed.
Loved the rub on this. Smoky. Like licking a grill. In a good way.
Warm squash blossoms ripiene, ricotta, tomato vinaigrette ($12).
A delightful mix of garden and dairy.
Dario's olive oil rosemary cake ($9).
Enjoyable end with an orange zest and limoncello curd. Mmm.
Italian two nights in a row. Who am I?
