Cantinetta Luca Description:
With a strikingly modern décor and a team of well-informed staff led by charming general manager Giuseppe Panzuto, Cantinetta Luca is a casual yet elegant endeavor by restaurateur David Fink. House-cured salumi shaved paper thin, some studded with fennel or peppercorns, are best paired with soft, silky burrata and crostini. Chef de cuisine Jason Balestrieri's expertise and Italian heritage shine through in the rest of the menu: grilled octopus on a bed of warm potatoes and peppery Calabrese salame; tiny shrimp that dance around delicate strands of fettuccine nero; and chanterelle risotto that is pure comfort. Meat, poultry and whole roasted fish are served family-style; we suggest the daily fresh catch such as roasted local rockfish, skillfully dissected at the table and left to bathe in melted fennel and lemon oil. The all-Italian wine list contains gems such as Falanghina and Moscato D'Asti, the latter harmonizing with a dolcetto of house-made banana-Nutella gelato. If in season, make a beeline for the creamy pumpkin budino.
