Antico Nuovo by Chad Colby

market fruit - stone fruit, fig, marsala, almonds
the marsala was a nice complement to the sweetness of the perfectly ripe peaches, plums, and figs. delicious.

focaccia - olive oil, sea salt
a bit like felix’s pillowy soft focaccia but with a really nice thin and crispy crust.

spaghetti - uni aglio e olio
uni on top was sweet and delicious, pasta had a medium firmness, sauce could have been a bit thicker to stick to the pasta better.

orecchiette al tavola di nunzia - sausage & broccoli
topped with pecorino and crispy breadcrumbs. good.

pollo e crostone - chicken roasted over foccacia
an ode to chi spacca’s pollo alla diavola? or a happy coincidence? chicken was nicely cooked and loved the crispy edges on the focaccia. I do wish there was some more sauce.

plum

damn I forgot how good the freshly spun ice cream eaten on the spot is here. instead of ice cream this should be called cold cream because you can’t taste a single molecule of ice in this cream. still my favorite ice cream in the city. must order. @attran99

also, I’m being followed by phil. luckily he didn’t bother me.
