Four restaurants, one city...This clearly is not a chef that should be reckoned with. Michael White, executive chef of Marea, Ai Fiori, Osteria Morini and now Nicoletta (and many more), is an extremely talented chef. I'm counting down the days until the opening of Nicoletta, Michael's new pizzeria. I know this place is going to be a huge hit! However, I'm here to share some food porn with you from Osteria Morini. Now that I'm home from school (for good), I can make my way over to sample Michael's new spring pastas. 

Tortellini Zingara // Classic stuffed Bolognese pasta with peas, asparagus, red pepper & cream

Lumache Verde // lamb ragu, artichoke, fava & ricotta salata

Creste // squid ink pasta with shrimp and seppia ragu & fava

Fazzoletti // ricotta and mascarpone, lemon zest, nettle pesto & ricotta salata

Gnocchi Verde // nettle potato dumplings with sausage mushroom escarole & cream

Pretty hard to believe this guy grew up in the middle of Wisconsin...Believe me when I say, I lived in Italy for four months and this guy knows what he is doing. If these fives dishes don't make you want to call up Osteria Morini right now and make a reservation, then I don't know what will.
