A pasta tasting menu is coming to New York just in time for sweater weather

We're settling into carb season, folks, which is mighty fine time for a pasta omakase to debut in New York. Every Sunday at 7pm from November 6th through December 18, husband-and-wife chefs Scott Tacinelli and Angie Rito (Quality Italian, dinnertable) will take over the kitchen of New York Sushi Ko for a limited-seating pop-up "pasta lab." 

The $150 ten-course tasting menu fuses Italian-American classics with Japanese touches: The meal starts with savory snacks like citrus-cured sardine with yuzu gremolata and uni en carozza, before segueing to six house-made pastas (tortelletti in brodo with mortadella tonkotsu, "burnt" garganelli with duck sausage) and one dessert.

Tickets for the 10-seat pasta parties, which include beverages (sake cocktails, unlimited wine), tax and gratuity, can be purchased in sets of two. Check out photos and a preliminary menu below:
