Hi Kathy!

Yum! The casadiella and the uni panini sound fantastic! With what was the uni panini served (other than bread :)?

Kat!
Yup! It's my favourite dish there..., but pretty pricey the size (about 4 bites for $15). More details on it here -> http://nymag.com/daily/food/2007/10/the_cutest_sea_urchin_egg_sand.html

Hey Misstiffie!
They were both so awesooommee :)

Hey Cassaendra!
There was butter and mustard oil along with the uni. NY Mag did a cool piece on it here -> http://nymag.com/daily/food/2007/10/the_cutest_sea_urchin_egg_sand.html

Hey Justin!
They change the eggplant preparation from time to time, but that was on the current menu as of last week...delicious! ^_^
