Polenta?

Looking for the real thing - not a brick - but nice, smooth and a little runny ---Where should we go?

I had some amazing truffle polenta at Alto. Scott Conant knows what he's doing.

That would be Scott Conant. And your experience with the polenta at Alto is not surprising because he is also the chef at L'Impero, home of the polenta and mushrooms mentioned above. Since Alto is the more upscale sibling, it makes sense that he'd to kick the polenta up many notches by substituting truffles for wild mushrooms in the L'Impero version.

Assenzio does a nice polenta appetizer with truffle oil and artichokes. Plus, in this weather, one could use some of their suckling pig too.

They have fantastic creamy polenta at 'inoteca, served with delicious sauteed escarole and pancetta.

I love the wild mushroom and polenta flatbread at the Orchard.

Crispo has one with smoked mozzarella and proscuitto that is unreal.

I really like the Polenta with mushrooms at L'Impero.

[RGR]

Totally agree. They are served together but in separate little pots. Insanely delicious!

I 3rd this recommendation...that polenta dish is reason enough to head to L'Impero!
