Bread

This past Friday two of my friends and I stumbled upon Bread while we were in Nolita for a show at the Bowery Ballroom. We were getting soaked in the pouring rain outside and we were quite happy to come across this place and see all of the comfort food on their menu!

We decided some hearty meatballs would warm us up and gave them a try. I can honestly say these were the best meatballs I've ever had! The texture was perfect and they were so flavorful...melt in your mouth amazing!!!

We also ordered the Prosciutto Di Parma with mozzarella and cherry tomatoes on ciabatta.The bread was wonderful..soft on the inside and crusty on the outside but the sandwich as a whole was not great. It was pretty bland and I'd wished we could have tasted the prosciutto and mozzarella. Since the panini was pretty flavorless, I dipped it in the delicious leftover sauce from the meatballs which made it waaaay better!

We also had an order of fries and they were quite delicious as well! They came out of the kitchen hot, fresh and crispy and were served in a cute little flower pot!

The menu was full of other dishes I'd love to try...

Starters:

Zucchini Souffle with creamy fontina

Cutting Board Tasting of crudo and cotto, salame, capocollo, speck, soppressata, selected cheeses and grilled vegetables.

Panini:

Spicy Capocollo with scamorza cheese, red peppers, arugula and spicy olive oil, served on a baguette.

Goat Cheese with shiitake mushrooms, roasted peppers, tomatoes and arugula on ciabatta.

Aged Salame with taleggio cheese and olive tapenade on ciabatta bread.

Pasta/Hot Plates:

Penne Quattro Formaggi with speck, gorgonzola, scamorza, fontina, parmigiano

Fresh Tagliatelle with lamb ragu

Braised Beef with creamy polenta and braised carrots

To top it off Bread has a nice atmosphere and reasonable prices. I'd love to go back sometime!
