Figgy Fixation At Italian Bar Tano

Even though they’ve removed my favorite Gemelle con Salsiccia from the menu, I will forgive the fabulous Bar Tano because they make the kind of bruschette that I crave: Fichi ($3). It’s a smear of sweet, house made fig spread on crusty, grilled bread, topped by creamy goat cheese. Simple and remarkable.

I could go on about the tasty thin crust pizzas with the fresh toppings or the hearty pastas or even the relaxed, neighborhood feel of the place, but right now, I just want to dream of the Fichi.
