Holiday memory — Osso Buco that transported me back

I first ate Osso Buco on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the rich and umami quality I remembered. Parmesan was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

Italian cooking is intensely regional with little crossover between provinces. It was the a family trattoria in Rome memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. sparkling mineral water was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
