Flying in the face of Restaurant Week, Brad Spence, chef and co-owner of the Vetri family of restaurants’ trattoria Amis, has finalized a new menu. Its updates include heartier dishes and seasonal ingredients. While old standbys, like the almond dusted sweetbreads and the tonnarelli “cacio e pepe” with pecorino and black pepper remain, each of the menus sections boast new additions. Some highlights include scallop crudo with blood orange and almonds; lamb neck fritters with salsa rossa; and black linguine with squid and chorizo. Keep reading for the full menu.
