Nina’s Trattoria, Good for the Neighborhood
Brian Freedman calls Nina’s Trattoria a lovely addition to its Italian Market neighborhood even if the kitchen occasionally delivers dishes that aren’t quite there yet.
Lamb chops, another recent special, were simply prepared with a confidence that gives me hope for the dishes that aren’t quite there yet. A rub of garlic, parsley, mustard and olive oil raised an otherwise uncomplicated dish above its individual components. Forked with a side dish of brussels sprouts shimmery with the fat of their accompanying pancetta, they were a highlight.
