Retreat at Zuppa

PM and I had a hearty and heart-warming lunch at Zuppa the other day ... a welcome respite from a day of drudgery.


We ordered up a big plateful of sweet roasted beets and braised fennel, sprinkled with a julienne of basil.


And followed with a generous helping of pasta tossed with pecorino and Parmesan, topped with a generous smattering of tender, springy clams. Mmmmm, mmmm, good.
