Website
Tavolata's monthly Sunday Feasts can be a pretty amazing deal, with prices varying depending on the star ingredient/menu—though since they're served family-style at the 26-seat communal table, you might want to bring a bunch of friends to insulate you from people who use the word "foodie." Sample $40 menu from chef Brandon Kirksey (caps his): Creamy Sunchoke Soup with Crispy Sweet Bacon and Chive Oil; Romaine and Treviso Caesar Salad with Parmigiano-Reggiano and Fried Capers; Soft-cooked Eggs with Basil Aioli and Red Onion Jam; Ricotta Gnudi with Spicy Pomodoro and Pecorino Romano; Slow-cooked Pork Shoulder with Winter Spice and Marjoram; Rapini with Garlic, Chili, and Lemon; Creamy Polenta; Zeppole with Chocolate dipping sauce. YUM (our caps). The 2012 lineup is all about meat: the aforementioned pork shoulder on January 15th, (meat) lasagna on February 12, leg of lamb on March 11th, rabbit on April 15th, prime rib roast on May 6th, and suckling pig on June 3rd. Reservations required. Price varies.
