AN EXCITING YEAR AHEAD!!!
Yes, this we expect to be an exciting year. We have many plans and we don't quite know where to start!
For sure Mezzanotte is on the right track - but we have several things to work on like adding new items to our dinner menu and changing our lunch menu; adding new wines to our menu; come up with new programs, etc.
At Piqueo we need to figure out creative ways on how to introduce Peruvian cuisine to our part of the world; build our wine menu; experiment with new recipes, etc.
And that is just the start - so please stay tuned!

SPECIALS AT MEZZANOTTE This week we have some exciting dishes at Mezzanotte:
ZUPPA DI FREGOLA CON LE VONGOLE - $7 This Sardinian soup uses fregola -which is similar to couscous- to give texture to a wonderful saffron and tomato broth. Clams and pancetta complete the dish.
GRILLED VEGETABLE RAVIOLI AL TARTUFO - $8
Caramelized onions, celery and garlic are added to fresh grilled carrots, zuchinni and yellow squash then stuffed into pasta pockets. Topped with a truffle butter sauce. Exquisite!
WINTER CAPRESE SALAD - $8 You cant miss this! Creamy imported burrata toped with our fabulous pesto and roasted cherry tomatoes. Beautiful presentation and better taste!
BRASATO AL BAROLO - $11
Beef short ribs slowly braised in red wine and vegetables. We have made it appetizer size so you can try this fantastic dish.
CHICKEN AL VIN COTTO - $21
Chicken cutlets saut�ed with onions, carrots, green olives, raisins, capers and pine nuts. Deglazed with Vin Cotto (red wine "cooked" with honey and cinnamon) and accented with red pepper flakes. A truly different taste!
LIMONCELLO CAKE - $7
