Today is day three of menu changeovers at Osteria, which means that tonight will be the maiden voyage for the whole new bill of fare. Like all the restaurants in the Vetri family, at Osteria chef and co-owner Jeff Michaud transitions from one menu to another over the course of three days to minimize any potential mistakes in the switch. “We’re taking a lot of the spring stuff off,” Michaud told Grub Street. “There’s always a couple of staples that always stay — the sides all change with what’s in season — but we’ve revamped like 50 to 60 percent of the menu.” Gone are dishes that rely on things like morels and Michaud’s homegrown fava beans. The new menu includes the return of the seasonal specialty pannocchia, a pizza that substitutes a corn puree for tomato sauce, and is topped with charred scallions, bufala mozzarella, truffles and fresh corn. Keep reading for the full menu.
