Arcodoro Restaurant Review

: The beauty of Arcodoro can be seen in the hand-painted tiles from Positano, the warm wood-burning oven, the huge murals and the Sardinian marble from the quarries where owner Efisio Farris's father worked. The cocktail crowd convenes in the large bar, where they indulge in grappa as well as two signature drinks --- the Fruitini, a vodka-infused fruit drink, and the Grapparita, Arcodoro's own version of the Italian margarita. Many of the menu’s regional dishes from Sardinia, the small, rustic island off the coast of Italy, are seldom seen stateside: pane carasau, or “music bread,” so named for its paper-thin texture; sa fregula, a traditional clam soup; teardrop pasta with wild boar; and costata d'oro, an aged rib-eye marinated in Sardinian wine, garlic, rosemary and balsamic vinegar. The evening can be topped off with seadas al miele, an authentic puffed pastry filled with sweet cheese, lemon and mint, lightly fried and drizzled with bitter honey.
