is spiced with smoky , sweet chili ; piment d ’ espelettes from French Basque countryside .
Desserts come little too . A trio of sweets on a stone platter take a turn at making a big impression . Being cool doesn ’ t happen simply by following suit . Timing plays into this story , yes ; as does a hip address . The essential ingredients in this formula , though , are a warm , inviting atmosphere and impeccable cooking . With all of the above , Cordova feels like the place to be .
Cordova is open Tue-Wed 5 pm-12 am , Thu-Sat 5 pm-2 am , Mon-Sun closed .

ciao ! reviews
Suburbs are not a huge draw for the culinary elite seeking chef forward menus . Yet , in St . Vital ’ s extreme far south , a beacon for eaters with high standards emerged this year . Locals from near and far are beating a path to Harth , drawn by the promise of stylish and forward-thinking food .
Owners Greg Gagliardi and Greg Masi , and new partner Chef Brent Genyk , are not exactly new to the hospitality game . “ The Gregs ” brought culinary excitement to Lindenwoods nearly 20 years ago with Bellissimo . Modern décor , smart staff and light versions of Italian dishes won us over .
Harth is poised to do the same . A few meals , and we are smitten . The menu wears its Italian heart on its sleeve , encouraging sharing familia style . It ’ s the Italian way . Pacing is important when the selections start with boards piled with house cured meats and Italian cheeses , and tastebud-awakening starters to share . A small bowl of warm olives are hit with a bright splash of citrus , and a pop of spicy chili . Chicken liver mousse is delectably creamy and finished with earthy mushrooms and slightly sweet pickled onions . Burrata – a softer , creamier buffalo mozzarella – is drizzled with herby olive oil and aged balsamic , and paired with roasted tomato bruschetta . Grilled bread adds a charred smokiness to both dishes .
The room is beautifully designed , with wood finishes , wine bottles hanging as a dividing wall , big booths for groups , and bar top seats offering a window on the open cucina . Dinner is a show , the action supplied by chefs forming pizza dough , slicing a big leg of prosciutto di Parma , and pulling dishes from the wood fired oven .
That fire is the restaurant ’ s pride and joy , blazing behind glass for the benefit of curious diners . Pizzas are constantly rotating in and out . for Handmade the Holidays
