Tomato carpaccio $12

The tomatoes are ripe and taste like tomatoes, the basil is sweet, the arugula is peppery and nutty, the evoo is fleshy, the peccorino adds a richness and the salt adds just the right crunch. Although they are more expensive, they taste better and deliver a better representation of our philosophy to our guests. We use what we can get locally because it represents what and who we are, and because it is the right thing to do.
