Matilda: Hoping to rub elbows with the precocious, good-girl genius of your favorite childhood Roald Dahl book? Keep dreaming. Instead, toss back Peronis and inhale quesadillas with the foodies who pile into this cozy-yet-sleek stop for creative Tusc-Mex fare. As the brainchild of an Italian and Mexican husband/wife-chef/owner duo, Matilda is definitely sexy, and brings to life your wildest fusion fantasies like tacos alla fiorentina (filled with rosemary medium-rare filet mignon) and cranberry bean soup with Mexican white corn. Down a prosejito (a mojito with Prosecco, strawberry puree, and fresh mint) as you debate the merits of Vespa scooters to sombreros at the stylish, pint-sized bar. |
