An amazing thing about my neighborhood is all of the specialized food. Food that isn't just made, it's crafted. Made in small batches by passionate people. Which is probably why I end up shopping at four or five groceries or markets every week-- each place has something unique, excellent or special. This week's delightful spot is Lucca Ravioli on Valencia. They're an Italian specialty shop that has all kinds of jarred Italian delights, loads of amazing cheese, breads and sauces made in house. And the ravioli and tortellini (and all the other fresh, handmade pasta) is ah-mazing. Seriously, it's just so much better than the dried stuff.
Last night we had their pumpkin ravioli with leeks, mushrooms, browned butter and sage. Dan's a lucky dude.
