Il Pellicano officially opened on Friday, Sept. 23, said Massimo Tabacco, who co-owns the restaurant with Matthew Balk. The restaurant, located at 1460 Post Road, serves a selection of small plates and appetizers, such as charred octopus, burrata, meatballs, and rice balls stuffed with mozzarella.
Guests can also choose from a variety of pasta dishes and entrées, including short rib ragout, New York strip steak, and pappardelle made with wild mushrooms and truffle oil. Tabacco said the response since the opening has been amazing, with the restaurant filling with customers each day.
