We'll be coming back to Basilico's because there's so much left to try on that menu, particularly the Italian wedding soup, which is apparently a traditional favorite on the east coast. It's a chicken broth filled with pastina (very small pasta), tiny meatballs and escrole greens. Escrole? I had to ask, too. Turns out it is a salad plant with wide, dark green leaves—sometimes called Batavian endive . . . where, come to think of it, I think I once vacationed, back before the Serbo-Croatian conflict.
