What to Eat This Spring at Da Vinci

Da Vinci chef Peppino is combining his Indian heritage and Italian restaurant experience in the restaurant’s spring menu, below. The new masala agnolotti, for instance, is stuffed with curried pesto,spicy ricotta, English peas, and cherried tomato sauce. Until Boston gets a restaurant serving up yoshoku, the Japanese cuisine centered around reinterpretations of Western dishes, this is probably one of your best bets for fusion in the city.
