Eating Oak Cliff: Lucia

Synopsis	Wow!  This place is in Dallas?
Starters	Salumi Plate – salumi is essentially Italian charcuterie. The plate consisted of lardo, chicken liver pate, pork belly, truffle salami and a pistachio pate.  The meal could have ended here and I would have been in heaven. Butternut Squash Soup – also nearly perfect.  This creamy soup was finished with fried sage leaves and brown butter.
Entrees	Bershire Porkchop with cabbage.  Perfectly seared and seasoned porkchop. Duck breast with a porcini and foie gras peverada.  A perfectly cooked medium rare duck breast with and equally perfect crisp skin.
Dessert	Cheese plate -- Gorgonzola Dolce, Pecorino Toscano & Robiola with almonds and quince mostarda.
What I Liked	What’s not to like.  The food is awesome and the staff is professional and inviting.  Seriously, is this place really in Dallas?
What I Didn’t Like	They don’t have a full bar.  A pre-meal cocktail would have made the evening perfect.  But this is merely nit-picking.
Conclusion	A
