Cravings: Crema di pistacchio sauce at Il Radicchio

A series on our favorite Northern Virginia dishes.

By Emily Cook

Dish: Four cheese ravioli with crema di pistacchio sauce, $14.50

Where: Il Radicchio, 1801 Clarendon Blvd., Arlington

Taste: When I spot gorgonzola on a menu, it jumps off the page shouting ORDER ME. So I listen.

The real star of this cheese ravioli, however, is the pistachio. The crunch of this nut, coupled with the coalescence of gorgonzola cream and sage, makes for a blend you’ll be lapping up with your bread at the end. If you’re anything like me, you may even be lapping it up on the way home, with a spoon, since you bought an extra portion to go.
