Pasta is the reason you should come to Da Lida, the pop-up currently operating downtown at Fooq’s. It’s very good - and if you are one of those pasta people who owns bucatini bedsheets and gets light headed at the very mention of the words “al dente,” then make a reservation. They serve linguini with Dungeness crab, rigatoni pomodoro, bucatini amatriciana, and rigatoni bolognese. My great dinner here consisted of both rigatoni dishes, anchovies and toast, and a bottle of orange wine. And afterward, I briefly considered becoming a pasta person.

Da Lida is a pasta and wine pop-up operating out of Fooq’s in Downtown. Pasta options include spaghetti alla nerano, rigatoni bolognese, and Fooq’s buccatini amatriciana returns to the menu as well. Reservations for indoor and outdoor dining can be made online.
