I’m happy to say that Corso 98 reopened a couple of months ago, although under new ownership. The new chef/owner, Beverly, has done a wonderful job maintaining some old classics and adding a few new outstanding dishes of her own. The highlight of our dinner was a fabulous crispy eggplant piccata and and excellent appetizer of whipped ricotta with caramelized onion jam, toasted pine nuts, and perfectly charred semolina bread. We also enjoyed pistachio crusted rack of lamb with butternut squash puree, farro salad, and a mint and hazelnut gremolata, as well as ham and cheese arancini with prosciutto di parma, and clams casino. It all went great with our favorite red blend aged in bourbon barrels.
