Dining room at Centro Vinoteca, New York, NYThe menu at this West Village eatery manages to find a fine balance between rustic Italian and sleek New York. A selection from the piccolini menu, an Italian version of amuse-bouche, makes for a great snack; a standout is the fried cauliflower in a Parmigiano crust. The rest of the menu is separated in the traditional Italian manner---primi and secondi. The bucatini all’amatriciana could be straight from a Roman trattoria in its authenticity, while the farrotto, a barley-like grain usually found in Tuscany, is laced with lobster, lime and mushrooms. The oxtail cake, paired nicely with celery, might steal the show---that is if you don't follow it with the thick and juicy fennel-pollen-encrusted pork chop. The wine list is masterfully chosen, with some little known gems from Sardinia and Basilicata.
