Grubstreet: “The new River Deli bears some resemblance to that cozy neighborhood hangout, as does Mocci’s pan-regional menu, which references his heritage with cured meats and cheeses served on wooden platters imported from Sardinia, along with the island’s signature crisp flatbread, pane carasau, and a rendition of malloredus sardi alla Campidanese, a saffron-tinged pasta with sausage, tomato, and Pecorino cheese. The all-Italian wine list spotlights a few indigenous varieties, such as Vermentino, Monica, and Cannonau, plus Ferruccio Deiana’s Pluminus and Ajana—higher-end blends you might call ‘super-Sardinians.’ Still to come: brunch and sidewalk seating.” [photo courtesy Melissa Hom/Grubstreet]
