"Erba is from the team behind Ghee, a restaurant that makes Indian food feel local. And Erba has that same philosophy. The menu is inspired by Florence with plenty of local ingredients (sometimes from the restaurant’s own farm). So the pasta is not only delicious, but very unique. The green mafaldine is served with chunks of conch, the chitarra has tomatoes from the chef's farm, and the beef cheek agnolotti is just incredible (regardless of where those cheeks came from). There’s also a porchetta chop and thick bistecca alla Fiorentina, in case you’re in more of an Italian protein mood. Also, bread service starts with a melting candle made of butter. It's the most fun we've ever had with a candle." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
