Lunching and brunching at Amis

Beginning today, you can devour Roman classics like fried lamb's tongue with salsa rossa and tonarelli cacio e pepe during daylight hours at Marc Vetri's trattoria Amís (412 S. 13th St.). The weekday lunch menu is identical to the current dinner offerings, and runs 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.

This Sunday, April 11 will see the debut of a Sunday brunch menu, with prices ranging from $4 to $20. Italian breakfast treats like homemade cornetti with marmellata are featured, along with stateside classics like Belgian waffles with rhubarb syrup to fill out the sweet side. Savory-seekers can turn to the extensive housemade charcuterie selection, bruschetta with toppings like buffalo ricotta with favas and English peas, or eggy plates like a sunny side-up duck egg with grilled guanciale and pecorino fondue.

Brunch will be served 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday only. Pore over the selections after the jump.
