last stop on the \"cosmo food crawl \" \n\nStarting to feel the effects of the crawl but we gotta make a final stop for the restaurant that allegedly makes some of the best pasta in the U.S. \n\nAgain, sat in the lounge area of the restaurant. While waiting for the table, i tried a few of the chips that are complementary at the bar - very good ! had fried basil blended in with some bite to them - not sure if it was red pepper or not. \n\nWhile we were virtually ignored at Comme Ca, Scarpetta was the other end of the spectrum ( an not in a good way ) - our server was nice but man, way to pushy on trying to up sell, especially the drinks. \n\nWent with lighter wine this time - name escapes me but it was a $10 glass - nice. We also opted for some sparkling water - $9. \n\nOrdered the spaghetti ( $24 ) , the creamy polenta with fricasse mushrooms ( $16 ) and the branzino ( sis wanted the cod but the server almost insisted that the branzino was the way to go - she relented - $26 ) \n\nThe spaghetti was a joy - might be tad bit too strong in basil , but it worked for me. What surprised us was a little heat to the sauce - the server was also a little surprised to hear this ... to the point i don't think she believed us. \n\nThe polenta was extremely rich but dang good. the fricasse was better here than the mushrooms we had at comme ca and helped cut through some of the richness of the polenta. \n\nThe branzino was perfectly cooked, simple seasoning but great taste. nice. \n\nWe went with the amedei Chocolate cake ( basically a molton lava cake $11) with a toasted almond gelato and a salted caramel sauce ( the reason why we got it - $3) and then a separate scoop of tangerine sorbet. \n\nI tell ya, that tangerine was a heck of finish to our food fest - so frickin refreshing - I will go back for that every time i'm in the building !!
