La Grotta On Main

House-made pasta

The kitchen's anchor — generously portioned and sauced with restraint; the bolognese and cream-based variations are the safest bets

Risotto

Creamy, properly rested risotto that rotates with the season — a reliable indicator of kitchen discipline

Osso buco

Braised veal shank that reads as the kitchen's most ambitious main — tender, wine-forward braise with gremolata

Tiramisu

A properly orthodox rendition — espresso-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone, cocoa — no fusion detours
