SRV - A Little Bit About a Lot of Things A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

December 21, 2016 SRV

Located in the South End, SRV, or Serene Republic of Venice, is the Coda group’s fourth restaurant (the other restaurants are Coda, Canary Square and The Salty Pig). The restaurant features small plates and freshly made pasta (by Stephanie Cmar!!).

We chose to sit at the bar, which is great for people watching and it gives you a front row seat to be able to watch your plates being assembled. We started with the Baccala Manteca ($4): salt cod, black bread, herbs, garlic. Simple dish and presentation but tons of delicious flavor.

How can you not get the polpette ($4)? They’re a pork and beef meatball, with tomato and covered with pecorino romano. So delicious and very light.

If you’re not a pasta fan (seriously??) they have other things that might strike your fancy: monkfish with radicchio, wants and cardoon, chicken with tomato sott’olio, eggplant and creme fraiche, or lamb belly with carrot in pinzimonio, saffron yogurt and quince.

Some pasta dishes include sweet potato tortellini with chestnuts and black truffle, squid ink bucatini with squid parsley and lemon and a brassica risotto with bone marrow, autumn olives and horseradish.
