Full Dish: Mima Vinoteca in Irvington

For appetizers, our waiter steered us to the formaggi sampler and an arugula salad with fried artichokes. With the former, each of the three cheeses we tried—taleggio, ricotta fresca, and Piave vecchio—was complemented by sides of parsley, date bread, and quince marmalade, respectively. The salad, meanwhile, combined shaved Parmesan, cherry tomatoes, and the still-warm artichokes with a lemony vinaigrette in a way that maximized every single one of the flavors.

Pictured is yet another app, the fritto misto, which includes calamari, shrimp, scallops, basil and lemon fennel salt.
