Waaaaah, what happened to the original chef? I miss my old go-to tapa, the gambas al ajillo??? no longer is there a nice and moist crostini, but instead it has been replaced by tostones (fried plantains!) It has lost its unique flavor, only to be…More »

This is a great tapas place. The seating is small so you should make reservations before coming.… Read more »

Honestly this is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Todd English, you won me over with your flatbreads. The first time I came here was during restaurant week and he had an escargot trouffled goat cheese flatbread. It is to die for! The fig…More »

Yum! You know a restaurant is good when you go twice in a week. I was dreaming of the black spaghetti with shrimp in spicy tomato sauce (spaghetti del marinaio). The gnocchi alla sorrentina was good but more on the heavy side. It's pure and simple…More »
7. Lombardi's Pizza
Don't try to get too fancy with your pizza. Stick with Gennaro's Original Pizza (made thin crusted with fresh mozzarella, a San Marzano tomato sauce and topped with roman and fresh basil). If you start adding extra toppings, you take away from the…More »
