Maybe there are a few dishes at the newly opened Galileo III that I can actually afford? I love a spicy buffalo wing–but variety is the spice of life–so I guess I’ll have to try the lemon garlic Parmesan wings.
From Tasting Table:
This football season, the best wings in town aren’t found at a sports bar, but at the new Galileo III. [...]
The white-tableclothed dining room serves the rustic, classic Italian dishes that helped propel him onto the national scene. But our favorite meals haven’t been in that formal room, but at the laid-back bar, which just debuted its own menu.
This is where diners will find Donna’s wings and drumsticks ($10), which he breads in a lemony coating of Parmesan cheese, garlic and rosemary; he then fries them to create a crisp, slightly spicy shell.
Uova al Pomodoro ($6)–like breakfast for dinner–features two silky eggs fried sunny-side up and served in a bowl of bright, truffled tomato sauce with pools of grassy olive oil.
An added benefit of sitting at the bar is that patrons can skip the dining room’s rigid prix fixe menu–which ranges from $55 to $89–and order anything à la carte for $18 per plate. [...]
And as an added enticement for football fans, the bar usually shows the games on its televisions.
