The pesto sauce is not on top of the ravioli at New Haven’s L’Orcio Restaurant, it’s nestled inside each delicious pillow, bathed in a light and lovely tomato sauce. I could not stop eating them, despite that I knew a salmon entree was headed my way. (Salmon delicious!) Whether you sit in the outdoor garden in back or in the dining room, do not miss L’Orcio’s dessert crepe, its edges crisped and buttery, filled with a slick of mascarpone cheese and fresh blueberry sauce. Good Lord, it’s good. — FM
