Pasta with Wild Boar was amazing! The chef and waiter both went above and beyond with service. Absolutely recommend this resteraunt.
As you would expect in a Lynch restaurant, pastas are expertly prepared. Wheaty, briny, slightly pungent, and rich, the bigoli with clams, sea urchin, and bottarga is the most complex of the bunch.
The wood grill is the backbone of the Northern Italian cuisine served here since 2003. Sample dish: rabbit and polenta lasagna with shaved matsutake mushrooms and thyme gremolata. [Eater 38 Member]
