Upcoming Mica tasting menus courtesy of Chef Roman focus on suckling pig and beef.

Mica, Chip Roman’s newest restaurant located in the heart of historic Chestnut Hill, has rolled out a special summer four-course tasting menu. Mica’s Wednesday tastings, $45 per person not including tax or gratuity, will focus around one ingredient. As far as we’re concerned, there’s no better way to celebrate mid-week than by indulging in Mica’s Wednesday Tastings and the fine talents of Chef Roman and staff!
