Como Italian

Como Italian has conjured up a Ghost-exclusive menu that’s only here for the festival. The main is an ink squid and pumpkin ravioli filled with crab and mascarpone, served in a butter and parmigiano sauce. Pair it with the Vampire’s Kiss Spritz, a hauntingly refreshing elixir of deep pomegranate and lush blueberries with a splash of tart lemon juice. It’s layered with sweet grenadine, topped with bubbly Prosecco and a splash of club soda for a bloody delicious finish. Once Ghost is over, so is the menu.
