Bacaro
There is a great Italian restaurant in Providence, Rhode Island, called Bacaro. My family was there at the end of December, and we had another great meal. The pasta dish I ordered, I will venture to say, was the best I’ve ever had. It was a baked gratin of pasta (I don’t even recall the type of pasta), with pumpkin and smoked chunks of pancetta. Wow. It was creamy, cheesy, salty, sweet, just all around delicious. I’m salivating at the thought of it right now. And on top of the great pasta dishes (the pasta dish with mushrooms and truffles is a hit), they have an excellent selection of cured meats, cheeses, and small bites. I’d also recommend the white truffle-scented Jerusalem artichoke carpaccio.
If you’re ever in Providence, you have to check it out!
