Year-End Outings: tasting at Sotto 13

November and December brought with it a myriad of outings, reconnecting with friends. I went to Sotto 13’s opening, and promptly made a reservation for that Friday night. It’s a fantastic spot to head with a bunch of friends to enjoy no-nonsense, classic Italian fare. Plus it boasts a huge space, so no waiting. Heard that the Wild Mushroom Pizza with mushroom duxelle, ricotta, mascarpone, bel paese, chives, and truffle oil was the best, will have to try it next time! Check out the  goodies sampled at the opening below.

 Ricotta, Lemon & Truffle Honey Toasts

 Eggplant Caponata Toasts
