Come on, dish: Which San Antonio restaurant do you miss the most?

We want to know — which River City restaurant or meal sparks nostalgia in your heart and belly, and why?

SATXtoday: arrosta

We have some amazing restaurants in our city, and we love highlighting new culinary gems at SATXtoday. But there have also been so many great, local restaurants that have closed over the years (Jefferson Bodega, we miss you) — and sometimes, we get a little hankering for a meal from a place that no longer exists. Sigh.

This got us thinking about the local restaurants from yesteryear that make our readers feel that same nostalgia — the spots that would be your go-to choices for dining out if they were still around.

Personally, if we had a time machine, we’d head straight to Arrosta near the Historic Pearl for a bowl of pasta + pinot noir and never look back.

OK, your turn. Which Alamo City restaurant or meal would you give anything to eat one more time? Let us know and we may feature you in an upcoming newsletter.
