Serpico at Southwark
Wonder if Matt Duckor is coming down for this one.
Serpico at Southwark
It's a sad state of affairs that most of the talk surrounding chef-in-waiting Peter Serpico lately has to do with a couple controversial lines in a Bon Appetit story on his recent collaboration dinner at Il Pittore. Let's try this again shall we? Monday, March 4th, Nick Macri is hosting Serpico at Southwark (701 S. 4th St.). Get your speed-dial fingers ready.
"The menu is 90% Serpico," says Macri. "We were talking about doing a collaboration, but then decided, fuck it, it's lame. I want to let him do his thing for the night."
Serpico lives close to Southwark and has been hanging at the restaurant "once or twice a week since he moved in," says Macri, who took over as exec chef last month.
The a la carte menu includes dishes like smoked eel croquettes in eel broth, chicken with braised snails and pretzel panna cotta.
