Michelin-Level Bistro, So Delish! ๐
๐ Foul Witch, 15 Ave A TLDR: Itโs Michelin-level and worth revisiting! The name is unforgettable, haha. The ambiance is really well-thought-out, the lights are so beautiful, and the service is great, except for the time when the waiter didnโt warn me that the pigโs head dish was scalding hot. ๐ The pre-meal bread gets 99 points. Iโm deducting one point because they donโt refill it. ๐ ๐ท Testa The pigโs head meat made the Northerner swoon with its aroma, probably seasoned with fennel. Iโll order it again next time! ๐ Tripe The tomato sauce with tripe was my first time trying it. When it arrived, the red blob almost had me confused. Itโs tender and charred, and the Southerner really loves it. ๐ Nโduja Pasta We both loved this dish! Itโs a type of Italian dumpling (here the Southerner gave the Northerner a five-minute crash course on the difference between tortellini and cappelletti). Itโs mildly spicy with a subtle lamb flavor. This place is truly a master of seasoning. ๐ Lamb Shoulder The lamb lover (the Northerner) really enjoyed it. The meat is well-marbled, and the pairing with fava beans and asparagus is very refreshing. Next time, I have to try the guinea hen! The former boss was quite disappointed when he heard we didnโt order it. ๐ Iโll also try the dessert next time. This time, I went to the ice cream shop Bad Habit on 7/14 (see previous notes). Next to the restaurant is what we consider the best gelato in New York: il Laboratorio Del Gelato. Detour Index: Worth the 20 blocks! #TreasureShopMap ๐บ๏ธ๐
