Chitarra al nero with braised octopus


















Restaurant:
Incanto (San Francisco)
Food description: Chitarra al nero (squid ink pasta) with braised octopus and cherry tomatoes
Food rating: 8.5 out of 10
Times ordered: 1

This dish was the star of the evening

Sauce was thick and just salty enough, seafoody, thick and hearty but light finish, ink not bitter, tomato added just right amount of acid to balance
Octopus tender and fatty (not oily) and copious, delicious!
Tomatoes a little awkward, pushed those aside

and for a nominal $16 bucks, who'd have thunk it?
