Ferraro's Kitchen Restaurant and Wine Bar

Ferraro’s Spice menu is a culinary love story to Italian food served casually in the “Mimo” District. Visit between Tuesday and Sunday during Spice months and savor classic appetizers of melanzane alla parmigiana or bruschetta medley with an assortment of toppings like black olives pate, bell pepper, anchovies and salmon, and dill. Traditional lasagna bolognese and pear pasta dumplings filled with gorgonzola sauce and white truffle oil are on the set menu. Finish the meal with a decadent Venetian tiramisu or strawberry panna cotta.

Lunch at this Michelin-starred restaurant in the Design District is always a good idea, but Spice is a significant saving on the regular menu. Served Tuesday through Friday, the menu features appetizers of salmon crudo with cucumber vinaigrette and crispy quinoa or English pea velouté, a mixture of ricotta mousse, mint, and walnuts. Favorite entrees of lobster roll filled with curry aioli and coleslaw and farro risotto with confit tomato and Mimolette are also on the list, and the pastries are as pretty as they are delicious — order the key lime tart, topped with pineapple compote and coconut sorbet.

and mushroom topped with butter sauce and parmigiano-reggiano. Dessert options are just as notable — go for the chocolate hazelnut crumble made with roasted pineapple and gianduja ice cream.
