Il Buco’s panna cotta — “cooked cream” — drizzled with 10-year aged balsamic vinegar is outstanding! The panna cotta is creamy and moussey while the aged balsamic’s slight tartness gives it a palate-awakening kick. The balsamic starts out sour on the tongue but then smoothes out and finishes with a touch of sweetness, so each bite is refreshing and rewarding. I didn’t stop once between spoonfuls until, sadly, I had devoured the whole thing.
