Second Course
Wood Oven Roasted Suckling Pig
Baia Nicchia Farms Butternut Rugosa Pumpkin Puree, Braised Rapini and Natural Jus

Third Course
Straus Organic So ft Serve Ice Cream
Choice of Vanilla, Chocolate or Swirl
with any Two Toppings

When I was there a couple weeks ago, the place was packed!  My meal was tasty, satisfying and comforting.  Actually, balanced is a much better word to describe the meal.  Balanced, because almost every bite was simultaneously sweet, salty, bitter, creamy and crunchy.  I drank a half glass of prosecco with the crisp, refreshing salad.  The suckling pig paired perfectly with a half glass of Donna Fugata Antilla, a full bodied white recommended by the bartender.  I decided on a bowl of chocolate-vanilla swirl ice cream and a drizzle of both espresso laced fudge and intense caramel sauce to top it off.  If you find yourself hungry on a Monday night, make a beeline for Park Boulevard.
