Like Rigatoni For Roti

Steve Satterwhite

It's a classy joint with lots of flavor, even if the Caribbean spice is missing

A terrific sweet potato purée, accented with nutmeg and allspice, gets wrapped in large, sailor cap-shaped ravioli and plunked in a pool of smooth, sage-flecked cream sauce. And while the one island-influenced entrée, roast pork raviolini covered in black bean sauce, was just fine too, it served mostly to remind me of my dashed plans for dasheen.

Dessert choices are limited: a couple of flavored cheesecakes, a moist square of chocolate cake, and an over-the-top "funk," which is tiramisu layered with Heath bar crunch in a puddle of sweet blueberry sauce. What will those wacky Caribbeans think of next?
