Reopenings

Taste What Got Accarrino Hired at SPQR

We’ve already mentioned a lot of the new additions you can expect at SPQR when it reopens tomorrow: They take reservations now, but even if you don’t get one (they’re only going to reserve half the dining room), the wait is a little easier thanks to a new waiting area. For those who love bench seating, you can expect banquettes now. In addition to new chef Matt Accarrino, they’ve brought on Michael Kim from Yountville’s Redd as sous chef. There’s a new, larger wine list, but the real fun is in the new menu, which includes some of the dishes that got Accarrino hired when he cooked them for the restaurant’s owners. The veal sweetbreads with wild fennel soffritto and the pecorino and date-stuffed quail were both on that trial menu. Check out the rest of the new menu below.
