This risotto at BoccaLupo was on special about ten days ago, and a similar version remained earlier this week when I returned just a few days later, once I remembered that it is one of the best restaurants in town and my ass needed to embrace that fact.
This $31 behemoth of slick rice and sea treats is packed with shrimp, lobster, and crispy calamari.
Another dish on the pasta tasting menu ($45 – four courses) was this flat pasta below (maybe tag? not sure) with sea beans, salmon roe, lobster, and vegetarian XO sauce. Fantastic.
Is there a more satisfying, creative neighborhood restaurant in town? Pura Vida may have been a good contender a few years ago, and speaking of which, the cocktails have improved at BL since Paul Calvert and Greg Best consulted on the menu.
