Please note that the meal was complimentary. However, the opinions expressed in my blog are 100% my own!  

This week, I was invited by Tarallucci e Vino, an Italian restaurant located few steps from Union Square, for a party to promote their events. I admit that I thought it would take place at the restaurant itself, but it was not the case: it was located in one of the four large lofts on top of the restaurant. There, Chef Andrew Welch, formerly of Essex House & Esca, crafted a menu made of seasonal dishes, composed with ingredients from the Union Square Green Market as well as his uncle's farm in New Jersey. 

Here are some of the dishes I sampled:

My favorite was the squid ink pasta and I was scared that my white shirt would like it too. But one of the favorites of the night was definitely the cheese as the photo below shows...

So, if you are planning an event, Tarallucci e Vino might be a good option.

Enjoy (I did)!
