Lascio Fare a Te — An Italian-Mexican Journey with Chef Marco

Lascio Fare a Te — An Italian-Mexican Journey with Chef Marco

Theme
Lascio fare a te, let me take care of you. This is not a dinner where you study a menu and make decisions. It is a dinner where you sit back on Casa Nostra’s rooftop, watch the light change over the Parroquia, and trust Chef Marco Massarotti to lead you somewhere new, one small bite at a time.

The Story
Marco has spent his life collecting places, Cambridge, New York, the coasts of Italy, the mountains of Mexico, and pouring all of it into the food he makes at Casa Nostra. This menu is his most personal one yet, seven small courses that let Italy and Mexico sit at the same table, sometimes politely, sometimes with mischief. A Tuscan bean stew meets a Mexican chared salsa. A Yucatan carnitas taco gets dressed in bolognese. A birria becomes a lasagnetta. It should not work. It works beautifully.

This is a night for saying yes before you know what is coming, for letting Marco and his kitchen do exactly what they do best, cuidar de ti, take care of you, one plate and one pour at a time.
