Left work before 5 o'clock! Shell shocked and parched we head to Inoteca for some celebratory wine and cheese. Just about the only way to secure a table on a friday night is to be there before 6. After racing downtown we placed our order for a cheese tasting, crustino and, of course, truffled egg toast. Alas, my tartufo cheese cravings are satisfied - first one of cow's milk and then a second variety of goats cheese tartufo was substituted when much to our dismay the selection included parmesan (I mean why would our waiter include such a pedestrian choice given the palette and direction we gave him?). Regardless of that tiny glitch, Inoteca creates the most generous and diverse Italian cheese plate in the city. The condiments are always perfectly paired - this time it was spicy and sweet almonds, poached apricots and thyme infused honey. Truffled egg toast and alfogato - a perfect way to unwind the week and or wind up for the weekend.
