Michael Schlow's New L'Ancora Pop-Up at Eataly Boston
Chef Michael Schlow just started a new pop-up restaurant inside Eataly Boston. The latest pop-up is called L'Ancora and will feature cuisines from Italy's coastal cities. I recently attended a media preview tasting for the new pop-up. We started our lunch with some arancini.
Bruschetta con 'Nduja (La Quercia, 'nduja, provolone, parsley). 'nduja came from the village of Spilinga in Calabria.
If you've never had 'nduja, it is a spicy pork salumi spread. The combo on the toasted bread helps temper the spiciness and enhanced the flavors.
Insalata di Zucchine (raw farm zucchini, capers, lemon, arugula, Parmigiano Reggiano)
This was a simple, yet extremely fresh salad. Isn't that what Italian food is all about?
