La Mescita

Frommer's Review

The marketplace location and simple decor of this popular spot belie its reputation for fine cuisine -- although a recent expansion is a nod to its success. The menu changes each month, but includes the delicious likes of a sformatino di melanzane (eggplant soufflé in tomato sauce), to be followed by ravioli di ceci con salsa di gamberetti e pomodoro fresco (ravioli stuffed with a garbanzo bean pâté and served in shrimp-and-tomato sauce) or strozzapreti al trevisano e gorgonzola (a slightly bitter dish of pasta curlicues in a cheesy sauce topped with shredded red cabbage). You can stick to tradition with your secondo by ordering the baccalà con patate e ceci (salt cod with potatoes and garbanzo beans). Because the place operates as an enoteca after-hours, the wine list is long and detailed.
