Tagliolini Allo Zafferano con Sugo Piccante di Granchio (thin homemade noodles with spicy crabmeat and light tomato sauce)
November 21st, 2008
This is another classic that I return to over and over, the tagliolini with spicy crabmeat and tomato sauce at Mezzogiorno. I love tomato-sauce-based pastas, and the brilliant flavor of fresh crab paired here with a light touch of heat is just so loveable. The thin homemade flat pasta is delicate and mimics the fineness of the crabmeat. I like to share everything, but I’ll fight for the last bite of this dish.

Kobideh Kebob (beef kebob)
November 21st, 2008
I’ve been on a Middle Eastern kick lately, evidenced by my recent review and frequent visits to Naya, but Ravagh, recommended by a friend, was a surprise and an excellent one at that. Around since 1996, Ravagh is on an unassuming block, with Persian rug stores, close to K-town. Two stories high, the main dining room is on the ground floor while the top is for larger parties.
