Good Morning!!!

The menu is pretty much the same this week. We do have a full on summer vegetable soup, loaded with all of the vegetables of the moment and toped off with a plop of pesto misto, a pesto of a variety of summer herbs. This pesto is nut free. The first tomato sandwich of the season is with creamy fresh goat cheese, zippy olive tapenade and fragrant sweet basil on baguette. Taking a break from the Insalata di patate and giving you beautiful salad of green and yellow beans with cherry tomatoes, shallots, basil, red wine vin & evoo.

Continuing from last week, Sweet orange-dew melon, local tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and feta come together with, basil, mint and chives, aleppo pepper and a zippy lime vinaigrette. We are baking individual peach galettes. Lasagne features sautéed zucchini, lots of basil, tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, parmigiana and pecorino. We’ve added another salad this week. Sweet roasted beets, carrots and shallots are dressed with a cumin-coriander and pomegranate vinaigrette, pistachios and dill. We are doing a ham sandwich with Kinderhook Farm ham, peaches, pickled onions, arugula and paprika butter on baguette.

For this week, we are running a ‘Summer Ravioli Sale”. Twenty percent off of your favorites. Via Ravioli make for a quick and delicious meal in minutes without heating up the kitchen. Four minutes in boiling water, drain and dress with simple melted butter and parmigiano, or a simple sauce of fresh tomatoes depending on your choice of ravioli. Fresh sweet pea with mint and pecorino, asparagus and ricotta, mushroom and ricotta.

As always, jams and marmalades from Mimi Beaven are available. These jams are small batch and of local ingredients. Start the day with jam and toast, but don’t limit them to breakfast. The jams will perk up any sandwich, accompany roasted and grilled meats, are yummy with cheese and how about topping vanilla ice cream with black currant jam or very red berry!! Tribeca Bakery baguettes and fresh Yundwell eggs are here for you as well.

Michael will be taking your calls beginning at 9am.

Have a lovely week!!
