The Skinny: Broccoli rabe is one of life’s simple pleasures.
At Caffe Luna Rosa, the broccoli makes a delightful starter, with the bitter greens pairing perfectly with the slightly sweet house-made sausage that fairly sings with notes of fennel.
You could just about make a meal of the broccoli, but then you’d be missing the beautiful pasta, meat and seafood dishes chef Ernesto DeBlasi prepares.
We also enjoyed the Rigatoni Pomodoro, whose San Marzano tomato sauce had the right blend of spice and sweetness, and the Insalata Luna Rosa, which combined arugula, chopped tomatoes and a tangy lemon/olive oil dressing.
Mangia!
