New York | Duck Ragu with Foie Gras Pasta: A Showstopper 🍝

A classic Italian restaurant in New York that's been a favorite for ages! Best to book in advance, or try your luck with a walk-in around 5:00 PM. 🕒 ① Octopus Carpaccio ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A delightful salty and tangy experience. The octopus is sliced paper-thin, breaking apart effortlessly—a unique texture. The olive oil is aromatic, and the sun-dried tomatoes add a hint of sweet and sour, perfectly complementing the toasted bread. 🦑 ② Heirloom Tomato & Melon Salad ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ A perfect balance of sweet and savory with tomatoes, melon, Italian burrata cheese, and pistachio crumbs. It’s incredibly refreshing and perfect for a summer appetizer. 🍉 ③ Pappardelle Duck Ragu, Foie Gras ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A standout classic! The handmade wide noodles are thick and chewy, perfectly soaking up the rich duck ragu. The slow-cooked duck is tender and flavorful, with a hint of red wine. The shaved foie gras adds an extra layer of rich, buttery flavor that makes this dish truly exceptional. 🍖 ④ Coriander Crusted Duck Breast ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must-order! The duck breast is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The coriander seeds add a fragrant base, and the fruity vinegar sauce is tangy and refreshing, cutting through the duck’s richness. The smooth sweet potato puree and grape sauce are a delightful accompaniment. 🍆 ⑤ Black Tagliatelle ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ The squid ink tagliatelle with crab meat is incredibly fresh and sweet. The light sauce has a hint of lemon, making it non-greasy. The garlic and chive flowers add a delicious aroma to the pasta. 🦀 🍴 Da Toscano 📍 24 Minetta Ln, New York, NY 10012 #NYCLife 🌆 #HiddenGems 🌟
