"Veal saltimbocca is a sensory memory for me. The smell of veal, salty prosciutto, cheese, and sage melting together in a warm, brown veal sauce as one of my first food memories. I order it whenever I can find it, which is harder said than done these days. Locanda has made it their own by deconstructing it into a filled pasta. The flavors are still there to remind me of my childhood, but the addition of silky, delicate pasta successfully elevates this dish while keeping its rusticity."
