Odeum Carcioffi Odeum Duck Confit
Odeum Osso Buco
Carcioffi: a standout dish of crispy fried artichokes with a golden crunch and buttery interior, served with a tangy aioli. This dish disappeared from our table in minutes. A unanimous favorite!
The Art of the Entrée Every entrée at Odeum feels like a carefully composed story, with flavors that unfold beautifully on the plate. We followed Chef Calisi’ s recommendations:
Duck Confit: Perfectly seared duck, draped in an aged cherry reduction, accompanied by a champagne-poached pear, green beans, and a silky potato purée. Pure indulgence.
Osso Buco: The slow-braised pork shank is braised overnight and served over a polenta base, topped with rosemary, and garnished with lava beans, asparagus, roasted red peppers,
and sweet miniature teardrop peppers, and a red wine sauce. Infused with deep, comforting flavors that paired beautifully with the creamy saffron risotto it rested upon, each forkful was a revelation— rich, aromatic, and impossibly smooth.
A Grand Finale Though pleasantly full, we couldn’ t resist dessert:
Chocolate Lava Cake – A delicate shell giving way to a molten chocolate center, served with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Pure decadence.
Louisiana Butter Cake – A dense, buttery pound cake with caramel drizzle, whipped cream, and praline. A crowd favorite. Odeum’ s desserts are the kind that linger in your memory long after the last bite.
