"Each visit here reveals a new must‑order, and this time it was the shishito peppers ($17): fried in a light, airy batter, stuffed with duck sausage, and served with dill sauce for a kick—like a larger, greener cousin to Via Carota’s sausage‑stuffed olives. They were an absolute stunner for our first bite of the night, followed by many more wonderful dishes across the late‑summer menu; for the record, my ongoing list also includes the sizzling shrimp, the chicken liver agnolotti, the foie gras terrine, and the chocolate cake." - Bettina Makalintal
