Wow my phone camera was really cloudy when I posted this. Ate some more things at Cotogna recently.
Raviolo with farm egg & brown butter ($24)
A single large raviolo, stuffed with ricotta and a runny egg yolk. Quite impressive looking. This is apparently one of their signature dishes but this was a the first time I had it. Delicious. Nicely textured pasta. The cheese and runny yolk made a delicious combination. It was covered with a large amount of browned butter that added even more luxurious richness and a slightly sweet nutty flavor. A very nice pasta dish albeit a little on the expensive side at $24.
Lamb sausage, ramp and fontina pizza ($22)
The green pesto looking (and tasting) sauce in this pizza was made with ramps. The fontina cheese layer was a little more complex and tangy tasting than mozzarella. It was topped with balls of cured lamb sausage and little bits of what looked like pickled onions that provided a bit of acidity. Very good pizza. The thin crust had a nice chew, and by the end of the pizza (I ate the whole thing) my jaw was getting a good workout. Nice smoky wood fired char on the crust and bottom.
