Craving: Osso Buco
• Try the osso buco at La Portena, my favorite little Argentine-Italian neighborhood spot, where the dish is served with a saffron risotto.
• At Tarantella Ristorante, the osso buco is served with a rich tomato sauce on a bed of fettuccine.
• The osso buco at Chef Adrianne's Vineyard Restaurant and Wine Bar is supposedly "famous." Not sure how that's possible, since the restaurant hasn't been open that long. Still it sounds lovely — braised with pinot noir, garlic, tomato and herbs.
• You can get osso buco at Il Girasole Restaurant only on Sundays, when it's served in a light red sauce with polenta.
