Where to Eat and Drink in Manhattan’s Little Italy
"Founded in 1999 by Frank DeCarlo and sold to Marc Forgione, Peasant was one of the first Italian restaurants in town to prepare most of its menu in a wood-fired oven, which is a magnificent sight to behold in the restaurant. Order the lamb merguez or even a whole pig, the latter of which must be ordered in advance. There’s a wine bar in the basement for more informal dining and drinking. Make sure you take a peek at the magnificent live-fire kitchen set-up." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
