Review: Mario Batali's Tarry Lodge


It was my mom's birthday last Thursday. So the family decided to do something special and head up to the Tarry Lodge in Portchester. Mario Batali's Tarry Lodge is considered to be one of the top restaurants in Westchester. With such an extensive, appealing menu, it's difficult to narrow one's options. Each element of the pizza's was bright and fresh-tasting, on a crust that really surprised us. We found it pliant and well-salted, with a real outside char from the wood-burning oven, good interior hole structure, and a great balance of chew and crunch.
The first time I had the Guanciale, Black Truffles and Sunny Side Egg Pizza I had dreams about it the coming weeks, and it became the one dish I was most looking forward to on our return trip. There's no skimping on the truffles. But with the sweet, seeping guanciale, Parmesan, and rich yellow egg, they don't dominate or overwhelm the pizza. It's a fine dish, not just a fine ingredient. A pile of black truffles for $17? Talk about an affordable luxury.

My main course was the Orchetti with fennel sausage and rapini. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and soaked up the luscious red sauce. The fennel spiked sausage was a great complement to the savory sauce and earthy rabini.
Tarry Lodge has quickly become a top notch restaurant in Westchester, and just keeps climbing up the culinary ranks.
