| This NoLIta Italian eatery is attractively clad in the vestiges of a Roman grocery story from the early twentieth century. Antique tiles on the wall and actual foodstuff for sale like olive oil and pastas compete with dark wood and a pressed tin ceiling. The real star here is the Roman-accented cuisine. Pastas run the gamut, including some in-house concocted creations that fall slightly flat due to an over-abundance of ingredients; instead stick to something simple like cacio e pepe. Pizza is thin and cracker crispy with tangy San Marzano tomato sauce and mozzarella di bufala cheese. It is some of the best Roman-style pizza in New York. Heartier options include an ultra tender steak, sourced from a rare Piedmontese beef and juicy, slightly spicy porchetta. The wine list is exclusively Italian and is separated by region. |
