If whipped ricotta feels like the kind of dish you’ve seen on menus all over town, this one is worth a second look. The version at Three Sixty Westport is truly spectacular. We first tried it over the summer and were completely taken aback by how good it was, so when we recently returned, we had to order it again just to confirm it lived up to the memory. It absolutely did.
The whipped ricotta is rich and silky, drizzled with fresh, citrusy lemon oil that brings a super-zingy brightness to every bite. It’s served with gnocchi fritto – light, puffy squares of deep-fried dough – essentially crispy, fried pita pockets of deliciousness.
A topping of giardiniera brings a welcome acidic pop and textural contrast, with bits of carrot and other pickled vegetables cutting through the richness. A scattering of microgreens crowns the dish, adding a final hit of freshness and a bit of visual flair.
We’d honestly go back just for this dish alone, though it certainly doesn’t hurt that the cocktails and views are also spectacular.
