Barbuzzo and a little something

Barbuzzo was not only my first stop for dinner upon arriving in Philly, but it also remains to be one of my favorite mediterranean restaurants in the city.

Sheep's milk ricotta with grilled french country bread

The bread in this dish was perfection. I love dipping bread that is so good you wouldn't mind eating it alone and this was just that. The sheep's milk is always a barbuzzo staple. I didn't think anything could top locanda verde's, but this is just as good!

Always order a drink when you're at Barbuzzo. They serve great mixes. This was just a sangria but the rest of their drinks menu is pretty funky and innovative.

Pan seared shrimp and pork belly - pork jus, apple celery salad. DELICIOUS. 

Seared halibut - fennel, castelvetrano olives, orange, celery root, salsa verde, roasted peppers

Grilled mediterranean octopus - juicy and so, so flavorful!

 And finally...whenever you're by 13th street, Yogorino is a must.
