New & Noteworthy
I was musing how this may be the first week where I made no changes to the New & Noteworthy list but a natural wine bar/restaurant in Prospect Heights from Joe Campanale, Dave Foss and Ashley Rath caught my eye. If their names are not familiar, you may know their restaurants — Dell’anima, L’Artusi, and Fausto; and the kitchens where Rath was chef de cuisine (The Grill, Dirty French, Santina and Gramercy Tavern). It’s going to be a hot week so a crisp glass of wine and a cobia tartare may be just what the doctor ordered.
