Favorites: Dinamo’s spicy Italian sausage

It doesn’t look fancy. It’s a pile of beans, some crispy corn cakes, and a monster hunk of sausage. But it looks delicious, and smells even better. Dinamo’s spicy Italian sausage with polenta and beans ($12) is one of the best plates of food you can eat near VCU. The house made pork sausage has a slightly spicy, meaty chew. The perfect polenta–yes, perfect–is fried crispy on one side, soft on the other. And the beans! Who knew white beans could be so creamy and delicious? Here’s a dish worth stretching out your lunch break: a winning balance of flavors, textures, and aromas.
