| Porcini are not the only funghi you will find among the ingredients at this handsome Tuscan-inspired bistro. Crimini and various wild varieties of mushrooms from Sheltowee Farms (Kentucky) show up in such dishes as bruschetta, pappardelle with peas, a ricotta-topped pizza and chicken Marsala. Other popular dishes on chef John Plymale’s menu of antipasti, pasta, entrées and pizzas include addictive lightly battered and fried artichoke hearts with garlic lemon aïoli, seafood cappellini with red clam sauce, a veal rib chop with English peas, and rack of lamb dressed in a bourbon-and-rosemary jus. Diners may choose a table or banquette in the old-world dining room with exposed brick walls and a gurgling fountain, or on a pleasant, flower box-lined patio which features a wall mural of the Tuscan countryside. Most bottles on the well-chosen wine list are, appropriately, Italian and the knowledgeable waitstaff can steer you to the right selection for your meal. Cheesecakes of various flavors anchor the dessert list. |
