Inoteca Liquori Restaurant Review
Bar Milano rebranded itself as another 'inoteca few months ago so DG and I had to go back to see how it measured up. Design-wise the place is the same: marble-paneled walls, formal dining room, casual lounge/bar area (where we ate), etc. The menu, however, is a closer cousin to the original 'inoteca located in the Lower East Side, with an assortment of affordable plates. The rebrand seems to be working well so far as evidenced by the steady crowd of patrons, both diners and drinkers.
Our meal consisted of three shared dishes: pasta with pork ragu, a panini with bresaola (air-cured salted beef), arugula, grana (like parmigiano-regiano) and lemon oil and roasted chicken with bread stew. Each dish was delicious in its own right - the pork ragu had large, tender chunks of pork, the bresaola was flavorful with a hint of lemon and the chicken carried a warm punch of flavor (perfect for the rainy night). Our only complaint was that all three dishes were served at once, making the meal feel rushed.
For dessert we had a velvety chocolate mousse topped with cream.
Add on a bottle of wine and our total bill came out to around $110, much more palatable than what we would have gotten at Bar Milano.
