You may remember we went to the re-opened and re-modeled Genoa for our anniversary last week and I referred to the cafe they have for more casual dining. Well we checked it out last night and it was great. They are focusing on snacks and panini's, but they also have larger plates - ravioli, polenta, lasagna, pork shanks and rockfish.
We were looking for lighter fare so we started out with the seasonal soup of the day, a great pumpkin and apple soup. Then we had the liver pate costini with a nice arugula salad. To finish up the evening we had the chef choose selections from their Salumi and Formaggi list. My personal favorites were the Pecorino Toscano Staginoato, a hard sheep cheese from Tuscany, that is a lot like Parmesan, but the Gorgonzola Dolce was also amazing.
They have a great cocktail list and several nice wine by the glass selections as well. The service was great and the prices were very reasonable. I look forward to coming back and checking out the wild boar ragu and provolone panini.
