Bufad Has A New Spring Menu

Now that we’ve finally had one inarguably spring-y weekend, the new spring menus are really starting to pop up around town. And Bufad (at 1240 Spring Garden Street) isn’t about to be left out of the action.

It’s not like they’re suddenly going to start serving sushi or anything, but new to the menu is their Kensington Quarter’s grass-fed beef meatball, stuffed with smoked mozzarella in slow-cooked tomato sauce. They also updated their local mixed greens salad, with radishes, pickled rhubarb and shaved Fiore Sardo in a lemon-tarragon vinaigrette.

And while sure, meatballs and salads are interesting, what you really want to know about is the new pizza. It’s going to be an artichoke and Sicilian olive pie, with slow-cooked tomato sauce, burrata and pangrattato.

Oh, and all new menu items? They are, of course, available through Bufad’s new delivery service.
