Pasta nera – Poesia

Pasta nera - Poesia
Squid ink pasta with calamari, prawns, and ‘Nduja sausage in white wine. $18
Poesia, San Francisco CA

I liked the idea of this dish (since I love squid ink), but it tasted kinda funky. Maybe it was the white wine, but this dish didn’t come together for me. There was an odd flavor that I couldn’t quite resolve.

Antipasto di burrata – Poesia

Antipasto di burrata - Poesia
Fresh burrata cheese served with crostini with ‘Nduja sausage, calabrese olives, salami. $16
Poesia, San Francisco CA

I liked this and thought that it had wonderful flavors, but I was kind of annoyed that the burrata wasn’t center stage. I thought from the menu item that it was going to be a burrata dish, but it was really a big crostini with several ingredients. I liked it, but it wasn’t what I expected.
