Sesamo

Fusion can often lean gimmicky. But Sesamo strikes a nice balance. Italian and Asian flavors weave their way throughout the menu, a bit of garam masala in the hefty Duck Ragu Rigatoni here, a five-spice port wine reduction in the duck breast there. Even better, co-owner Sabrina Gao's somm status brings in a wide range of wines including Indigenous pours from the Piedmont region.
