los angeles - venice: piccolo

tommy goes to piccolo in venice...

conchigille: marinanted sea scallops, sea urchin, lemon-thyme pesto

 fontina filled ravioli, parmesan-butter sauce ,fresh winter truffle shaving 
garganelli, braised duck ragu

ox tail filled agnolotti, slow-roaste ox tail sugo

australian wagyu ny steak, lemon-thyme pesto maldon sea salt

branzino baked with topinambour, leeks-lemongrass sauce

bignole: chocolate cream, pastry puffs

cannoli

tommy says:  the pastas and main courses were absolutely fantastic!  the appetizer was ok - the sea urchin flavor got lost. the desserts were just eh - didn't really care for their interpretation of a cannoli, the shell was too hard and filling wasn't so great either; bignole was just fine.  but back to the pasta - handmade, and paired with amazing sauces.  branzino was incredible and perfectly cooked, as was the steak. a really enjoyable meal!
