Rose Mary — Second Visit & Late Summer Patio Vibes 🍝

Another review I’ve been sitting on — check the last pic for proof this was a summer patio meal (finally posting in winter 😅). 🍝 Lamb mafaldine — my husband’s pick. He loved it last time (took it home), and it’s still a winner. The ruffled pasta holds the rich, savory sauce in every bite. 🍝 Beef cheek gnocchi — tender braised meat with pillowy potato dumplings and bright flecks of basil in the sauce. 🍝 King crab agnolotti with sweet corn — delicate little pasta parcels bursting with sweet crab and summer corn flavor. 🍝 Duck breast with charred cabbage — duck was juicy and well-seasoned, though the cabbage was a bit too burnt. Eat it hot — it gets slightly gamey when cool. Overall, stick to the pasta here — it’s chef Joe Flamm’s specialty and consistently shines. The meats and sides are fine, but the pastas are the stars.
