Abboccato

Review of the Week

In a city dense with Italian restaurants, it's not easy to stand out. However, Abboccato in Midtown has managed to do just that, with straightforward dishes like the spaghetti amatriciana with tomato sauce, crispy guanciale and red onions. After your meal, make it a Dinner and a Movie night with one of our featured films.
