The is food described as “family-style,” - if your family makes things like the truffled-ricotta-and-honey combo is on the seasonal crostini menu, consider yourself lucky.
A plaster cow outside welcomes you in and homey food is served all day long, but breakfast is really what’s up. Get the sourdough pancakes with a side of homemade scrapple and you can thank us later.
Rustic and inviting, Forgione’s food is a mix of Italian cooking, French technique and a few Southeast Asian flavors. Get the juicy cooked-under-a-brick chicken and finish with the pumpkin soufflé.
Spicy Village tells it like it is with their Spicy Big Tray Chicken: an enormous platter of chicken with mouth numbing Sichuan peppercorns (share it if you want to spare some taste buds).
Salty, smokey, sour and seriously spicy (rumored more so than Sichuan cuisine) there are some great vegetarian Hunan delicacies like the stir-fry of smoked bamboo that could even rival meat dishes!
