"Unless you live in Bed-Stuy, it’s possible that Macosa Trattoria is the best Italian restaurant you’ve never been to. The small neighborhood spot opened last year on Tompkins Avenue, and aside from Eater’s Robert Sietsema, I’ve only heard talk about its excellent pastas from friends in the neighborhood. Fine by me, because it means it’s still possible to walk in here on a Saturday night without a reservation. A friend and I arrived around 10 p.m., too late for the wonderful tiramisu, which had already sold out, but perfect for a late dinner of carbs and $13 negronis. We shared three types of pasta that were well-priced at $16 to $20 a bowl. Best was the bucatini amatriciana ($20), a nice portion of chewy noodles with bits of pork jowl that get better the longer you gnaw on them." - Eater Staff
