Have you ever thought about ordering a fixed-price menu that consists of course after course of pasta? It does sound like something you’d eat to, say, bulk up for a sumo wrestling match. Trust us, you want this. Bruce Logue is a chef of ceaseless invention, consummate skill and intuitive flavor sense. His current pasta tasting menu includes orbs of fried macaroni with honey truffles and chive fondutta, house linguine with Sapelo Island clams and corn, and wild boar meatballs with gnocchi au poivre. Then again, you may need one of the classics off the standing menu, such as squid ink ramen with collards and boiled peanuts, or the soul smackdown Logue calls the “crispy white lasagna slab.” Noodle nirvana, this place.
