Blanca is the result of a slow progression. Carlo Mirarchi made his name serving pizza at Roberta’s, a place with a clientele that could pass for the cast of the HBO series Girls. Not content with the restaurant being one of the most popular in the city, he introduced a nightly tasting menu that focused on raw fish dishes and pastas and that always finished with servings of carefully sourced duck and beef aged to perfection. Now Carlo has once again upped the ante, opening Blanca in a stand-alone building on the other side of the courtyard from Roberta’s. In addition to the spiffy new digs, Carlo has doubled the number of courses in the tasting menu; you can expect somewhere between 24 and 26 different small plates, always ending with his wonderfully aged meats. The restaurant’s fans, who are numerous, call it “a magical experience”; they offer comments like “Carlo is a magician with meat” and “his aged proteins are indescribable and far surpass any others I’ve had.” |
