Owner Seth Rubin always […]

Locanda del Borgo has an open kitchen. A wide-open kitchen, laid out like a gastro-porn centerfold. The menu is wide-open, too, refusing to specialize or economize, with dishes ranging from fritto misto (a fisherman’s platter of squid, scallops, shrimp, artichokes and zucchini, all fried) to straccetti (a Roman stir-fry of beef “tatters” and arugula, topped […]
