Cucina Povera: Osso Buco!

New faces please. (if you've been to three or more, please hold off)

Ossobuco or osso buco is a specialty of Lombardi, specifically, Milan. It's a cross-cut of beef or veal shank braised with vegetables, aromatics, white or red wine, and broth. It is often garnished with gremolata, a finely diced mixture of parsley, lemon zest and garlic. Traditionally, it's served over a bed of risotto, polenta, or creamed potatoes, making it a perfect comfort food for winter. The marrow in the hole in the bone, a prized delicacy, is the defining feature of the dish.

REFUND POLICY:
If you have a confirmed seat and cancel at least 7 days before the event, I will give you a full refund. If you cancel within 3 days of the event, your reservation is not refundable as I am likely out the cost of the dinner. HOWEVER, I will attempt to sell your spot on the Bend Foodies page or on our Meetup site, and if I’m able to do so, I will issue you a full refund. Of course, you may want to try to sell or gift your spot to someone else, and if you do so, please let me know immediately so I don’t continue offering your spot. The exception is if there is a waitlist containing the number of seats that offset yours (and those diners have not already made plans) AND when your spots are filled and paid for, I will give you a full refund.
