Thursday was the first official day in biz at Pascual Cancelliere's long-time-coming eatery 943 (943 S. Ninth St.). The BYO experienced its fair share of delays â we first noted the project in Jan. '09; it's been pretty much ready to go since this fall â but now the open kitchen is 100 percent ready/rarin' to go, serving up an interesting mix of traditions from both Italy (Cancelliere's father) and Argentina (Cancelliere's mother). Empanadas (three varieties here) and meat are the queen and king of the Argentine table (see the parrillada juani, a mixed grill of sweetbreads, chorizo, blood sausage, short rib, skirt steak and strip steak), but Cancelliere is also offering plenty of seafood options at the 50-seater (octopus with saffron, fava beans and fennel; a grilled fish a la dia). For right now, 943 is open for lunch and dinner Wednesday to Sunday (Cancelliere is still playing with menu options for brunch service, which'll be served Saturdays and Sundays). Check out the opening menu in full after the jump.
