| It’s difficult to resist the basket of two mini loaves of hot, crusty bread presented before the meal at El Caserio. But be careful not to slather on too much aji, a bracingly potent tomato-based chile sauce, or you may leave your taste buds impaired for the rest of the meal. Start with an order of salmon carpaccio, a large plate of thinly sliced raw fish accompanied by goat cheese and a side bowl of pesto. Move on to the more than decent selection of pastas: fusilli si due funghi mixes portobello and porcini mushrooms with corkscrew pasta. Chicken cooked in beer is tender and moist, and served with a mound of rice and hunks of potato. The plato sin carne is for vegetarians, but there are also plenty of the pasta dishes that will satisfy those diners. Try the cannoli for dessert. The wine list is small and weak, but El Caserio has a full bar and specializes in Latin cocktails, including the caipirinha from Brazil. |
