What draws us to Salumi? The fact that is was owned by famous Chef Mario Batali's father and is now owned by his sister? Perhaps. The absolutely delicious sandwiches served for lunch? Partly. For their absolutely gluttonous 2.5 hour private party lunch? Yes indeed!!Last week, after our good friends Erik and Amy booked this back in April, we were able to participate in the private lunch experience at Salumi. We, along with 6 of our friends, snuck by the long winding line and into the super special back room. We were greeted with a sampler plate of their cured meats, olives brined in house, fresh bread and wine. From there we moved along to a delicious crustini, several vegetable dishes, a cold and spicy soup, a mouth watering pappardelle with thick Guanciale, and into the main course of meatball mixture stuffed crisped pork belly on a bed of spicy greens and garnished with Pancetta wrapped brocollini! In-cred-ible! And we finished with wine poached pears and figs with Culatello.
If you are looking for a special occasion lunch spot and love meat, this is the place for you!
