It’s a fancy italian place so obviously for my chud american body i was hungry. i got the tagliatelle and it was good!! creamy and i got to try the steak (i forgot the name) the focaccia was good but lowk i was not a fan of the pepper oil dip thing but that’s just a me issue. i DID remember to take a photo of the dessert!! this is that chocolate coffee dessert. the sugar lowk cut the top of my mouth but the dessert itself was fine. price however..
great spot for drinks & desserts
- apple caramel crumble
- white wine
Loved almost every dish we got… The wagyu carpaccio was so delicate and flavorful - probs one of the most unique beef carpaccios I’ve had. The burrata with candied pecans and stonefruit was refreshing af. And then the focaccia!!!! The bread itself was ok but the spicy pepper olive oil concoction it came with is probs a top 3 condiment for me… The two pastas we got - the tagliatelle and bucatini nero - were chef’s kiss. Large pieces of crab in the bucatini too. The branzino was perfectly crispy on top and flaky inside, with tons of olives on the side, which made for an interesting flavor backdrop against the white fish. And to finish it off, we got the olive oil cake (def a bit heavy and rich but you must leave room for this) and apple fig crostada (100% skip this one unless you feel strongly about apples/figs). Only other critique I’d have is that the food came quite quickly - timing was a tad off - and also we actually ended up waiting almost 30 min for our table to clear despite having a res. Service was lovely otherwise.
I think my expectations were too high going in, but I’d rank this reasonably below all the other popular Italian restaurants in NYC that fill this niche (I Sodi, Don Angie, Torrisi, Carbone, Lilia, Misi, Roscioli) and wouldn’t go back.
Their dishes weren’t all that creative, execution was good but not stunning. My favorite was the bucatini which had a nice brightness and the pancetta was a good texture.
Olive oil cake really stood out! Delicious and not too heavy.
