Chef Chris Cosentino elevates the nostalgic comfort of Tetrazzini with a refined, game forward twist. Tender quail takes center stage, nestled into a silky tangle of pasta and cloaked in a rich, woodsy sauce that whispers of forest floors and flickering hearths.
With every bite, you’re drawn into a dance of elegance and earthiness, delicate, indulgent, and unapologetically bold. It’s old-school meets haute cuisine, with a wink and a wild streak.
