Filetto Al Pepe Nero

Filetto Al Pepe Nero available at Piccolo's on Shrewsbury Street.

The most difficult part of this dish was to keeping the others away from trying to have a taste.

Foodie’s Review: The lovely waitress gave a high review and I agree with her “talking it up.” Beautifully plated, the sauce was spread lightly over delicious raviolis that was only enhanced by the goat cheese crumbled on top. The variety of complex flavors and textures come together in a manner that most may not be accustomed to, but was a wild success in my book.
