| Marco Canora's menu features classical dishes that have been given a contemporary
spin. Whether exotic or familiar, the ingredients
are allowed to speak for themselves in an uncontrived
manner. Have a look at some of our
signature dishes.
The menu
changes daily, with more comprehensive revisions
seasonally. All of the dishes are composed and
within each dish is a focus on one item, be it
protein or vegetable. Marco riffs on that foodstuff;
for instance, on his pork dish, he presents the
loin, the belly and a homemade sausage.
Another common thread is the use
of true Italian cooking techniques which are often
sacrificed in modern restaurants in favor of easy
fixes and culinary shortcuts.
This season we are featuring,
in addition to our regular a la carte menu and
tasting menu, a Cucina Povera menu -- a special
3 course menu with optional wine pairings as well.
Cucina
Povera is an Italian phrase referencing
humble cooking. The combination of delicious creativity
and humble ingredients can create exceptionally
tasty food. What that means is a three
course meal for $35.00 featuring
dishes such as our Escarole Salad
with Walnuts and Pecorino followed
by a Pappardelle Bolognese
and then the Lemon Budino with Whipped
Cream and Sour Cherry for dessert.
(These dishes do change often, online menu is
racing to keep up with our dynamic kitchen.) Add
wine pairings for $15. Really. (PDF
format).
