Pici deserves an ovation for their pastas. Order the pasta and... more pastas when you are here because that’s the only thing you should be eating.Don’t believe the “All the pasta has been designed to share” because I ain’t sharing no more at Pici and the portion, really, it’s just for me, myself and I. 3 people tonight and we ordered 3 pastas, the homemade meatballs and radicchio salad (eeeek goat cheese! but that’s just me).The meatballs were too soft for my liking. They fell apart quite easil
Don’t believe the “All the pasta has been designed to share” because I ain’t sharing no more at Pici and the portion, really, it’s just for me, myself and I. 3 people tonight and we ordered 3 pastas, the homemade meatballs and radicchio salad (eeeek goat cheese! but that’s just me).
The meatballs were too soft for my liking. They fell apart quite easily and I was hoping for more herbs in the sauce. A saltier parmesan shaving might save the day but Pici’s were just for “decoration”.
The orecchiette (cat ears) was the BEST! We ordered this after having 2 pastas (because the menu lied and we were still craving for more) and it still tasted fantastic! The “ears” were thick, al dente and had that satisfying doughy (flour) taste that carb lovers would be addicted to. The sausages and spicy n’duja (googled - spicy piggy gut sausage spread) coated every bite perfectly. I chewed every “ear” very preciously like how I would treat them on an Italian hottie.
2nd favorite was the mussels with tagliatelle. The mussels were tiny so let’s disregard them but they did contribute to the saffron sauce with a touch of the ocean. The tagliatelle was eggy and each strand “snapped” in your mouth without being sticky. The pappardelle with 8-hour slow-cooked beef cheek was good but the other 2 pastas were BETTER (all the beef fat in the ragu was good for my thirsty chapped lips).
Good pricing in general. The ravioli will be my next target at Pici!!!
