Gallina said, "We wanted Recoveco to reflect our personalities and the different techniques and flavors we've encountered over the years. Our goal was to create a menu that offers something familiar yet surprising."
The beef tongue, served with whipped sesame, chimichurri, and carta di musical, stands out for its nod to Martinez's Uruguayan heritage and promise to use underutilized ingredients.
One standout is the fig leaf and cucumber dessert, made with lemon sherbet and juniper berry meringue, using fig leaves from Gallina's parents' backyard.
The name 'Recoveco,' meaning 'nook' or 'cranny' in Spanish, reflects both the restaurant's cozy vibe and its intimate dining experience.
