Mentaiko & Ikura Cream Sauce Pasta ($16)
.
It is really not difficult to fathom why every table @ristoranteLuka during lunch service ordered a plate of this pasta. Mentaiko plus Ikura is sure to get fingers pointing to it on the menu! Overall, this really does taste as good as it looks with each spoonful bursting with the umami from both roe. It is a tad spicy from the mentaiko but nothing too big a deal. This is best shared as the thick cream sauce may get a little too heavy if one attempts to polish this up alone. That said, I was scooping up some of the leftover sauce just to get that nice bite of the cod fish roe!
