NYC | Mind-Blowing Duck & Foie Gras Pasta 🦆🍝

This classic Italian spot has been a long-time favorite in NYC — and it totally lives up to the hype! 📌 Pro tip: Reserve ahead, or try walking in right at 5 PM. ① Octopus Carpaccio ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Salty and tangy — the octopus is sliced paper-thin and super tender 😋. Rich olive oil aroma with a hint of sweetness from sun-dried tomatoes. Perfect with toasted bread! ② Heirloom Tomato & Melon Salad ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ A refreshing combo of tomatoes, melon, Burrata cheese, and crushed pistachios. Sweet and savory balance? Perfect 👌 Summer vibes in a bowl! ③ Pappardelle Duck Ragu, Foie Gras ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THE star dish! Handmade wide noodles with slow-cooked duck ragù and shaved foie gras. The pasta is chewy and soaks up the rich sauce…and that foie gras melts right in, adding a luxurious layer of flavor 😍🍷 ④ Coriander Crusted Duck Breast ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must-order! Crispy outside, tender inside. The coriander seed crust + tangy fruit vinegar sauce cuts through the richness. Served with silky sweet potato mash and grape glaze — heavenly! ⑤ Black Tagliatelle ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ Squid ink pasta with sweet crab meat 🦀. Lightly seasoned with a touch of lemon — so fresh and not heavy at all. Garlic and chive blossoms add a lovely aroma. 🍴 Da Toscano 📍 24 Minetta Ln, New York, NY 10012 #NYCLife #HiddenGem #ItalianFood #PastaLover #NYCRestaurants #FoodieGuide #DateNightSpot #NYCEats
