New York Restaurant Experience | Santi🌟

POLIPO 🌸 Grilled octopus is like the ultimate test for a restaurant’s cooking skills. This one nailed it! The octopus leg was perfectly grilled, with a deliciously smoky aroma. The texture was soft and tender, just melting in your mouth. The accompanying eggplant was a brilliant touch—crispy fried slices and a smooth puree that blended seamlessly with the octopus. It was a match made in heaven! 🐙 🌟 TORTELLINI The pork tortellini with creamy white sauce was delightful. Each bite-sized tortellini was filled with flavorful pork, and the rich, creamy sauce was to die for. The pasta was cooked to perfection, with a nice chewy texture. It was a comforting and delicious dish. 🍝 🎢 ASTICE The lobster deserves a special mention. I’ve had undercooked lobster at other places, but this one was spot-on. The lobster was perfectly cooked, with large, juicy pieces of meat. 🌟 The claws were already cracked open, making it easy to enjoy every last bite. There was no skimping on portions here—this place really delivers! 🦞 Before ordering, the server suggested one or two appetizers per person, sharing a primi (pasta dish), and then having a secondi (main course) each. Unless you’re a big eater, this is plenty. 🍃 The portions are so generous that three courses per person could leave you feeling like you’re ready to march to Milan on the spot! For reference, the birthday cake added an extra $15 per person. 🎂 #NewYork #BirthdayDinner #BeautifulMeal #NYCRestaurant 🗽🌟
