The Aspirational Food World Tried (and Failed) to Shame My Love of Red Sauce | Bon Appétit
"An old‑school red‑sauce restaurant the author describes as exactly the kind of place she had been seeking: dim and lively, filled with the intense aromas of garlic and onions, crowded with people waiting for tables, and anchored by a single bartender stirring martinis. The cozy dining room serves bread with oil and balsamic, generous bowls of grated Parmesan, and evokes classic touches like Chianti bottles with melted wax, while the menu offers familiar Italian dishes such as bresaola alla Valtellinese, conchiglie della casa, and tiramisù — an instant, comforting reminder of East Coast dining." - ByAlex Pemoulie
