NoMa Social takes its name from its location "North of Manhattan," and has an attractive and trendy ambience, tasty tapas and large plate menu, and a diverse selection of interesting cocktails. We had dinner at the restaurant in November 2015, and as one would expect with Chef Bill Rosenberg’s impressive background graduating from the prestigious culinary school, The Culinary Institute of America (The CIA) in Hyde Park, New York, and later honing his culinary skills at Two Moons in Port Chester, New York, Barcelona Wine Bar in Norwalk, Connecticut, Vivo and Dome in Greenwich, Connecticut, and at his own restaurant F.I.S.H in Port Chester, New York for 10 years, his tapas are creative, well thought out, attractively presented, and delicious.
Chef Bill Rosenberg
When not working in the kitchen or dreaming up new recipes, Chef Bill Rosenberg likes to spend time with his three children, a daughter age 19, and sons, ages 14 and 9. When asked if there are any budding chefs in the family, Chef Bill replied that his daughter has an exceptional palate and has always enjoyed trying new food from a young age. His sons, not so much, as of yet, however it is still early in the game.
Chef Bill Rosenberg graciously shares a delicious "taste" of NoMa Social to tempt your palate into making a reservation at the restaurant.

Cup

Method: Warm olive oil in heavy bottomed pot, add onions and garlic and cook until translucent. Add mushrooms, and cook until they release their liquid, next add the risotto, stir to combine and cook 1 minute. Next add white wine and stir until evaporated, then add chicken stock 1 cup at a time and stir until incorporated. Cook until almost dry and add next cup of stock. Again cook until dry stirring, stirring, stirring. This is important as it is what gives the risotto its creamy consistency. You can stop at this point and lay it on a sheet pan to cool and finish later or continue to cook and add last cup of stock stir, and when almost dry add butter, cheese and remove from heat stir to creamy consistency and adjust seasoning. The risotto should be as the say in Italian al ondo "like the waves" meaning slightly loose, it should have to be served in a bowl never a plate because it would run right off the plate if you made it correct.
