Colicchio & Sons Tap Room Review - 6/4/11

After a great walk on the high line, this was the perfect place to dine.  The high line is a wonderful way to see the city from a different perspective.

We arrived well before our reservation time and had a drink at the bar, where the bartender was happy to have me try the wines on tap after I had shown some interest in them.  There are some interesting wines by the glass and also lots of different beers presented in unusual glasses, and it was fun just to sit there and enjoy our cocktails.

When our friends arrived, we were seated at a very nice table in the corner, and ordered our dinners.  I started with the ricotta cavatelli with spring peas, caramelized onions and mint.  It was really nice....creamy and you could taste a hint of that mint.

I'm not a fan, but Marc ordered the roasted bone marrow with truffle vinaigrette and drunk onions, and he loved it.  

So since we are fairly "good" eaters, we decided that since the portions were on the small side, the four of us would share the tomato, mozzarella and basil pizza.  It was a great idea because we all got to taste another of Colicchio's items, right out of that wood fired oven.

My main course was a roasted tuna with grapefruit and it was good....just not great.  It was indeed a very small portion, and of all the courses, I'd say that was my least favorite.  I think my favorite course was the dessert, Zeppole with malted milk ice cream and butterscotch sauce...now this was killer.
