"Founded in 1918 and now presided over by veteran Italian-born chef Pietro Mosconi, Monte’s Trattoria hides in plain sight on the MacDougal dining strip dear to tourists and NYC students. Troop downstairs into an antique premises and find it crowded with Villagers and their guests. The pastas taste as wonderfully old fashioned, with a short rib gnocchi and a unique stacked cannelloni the way it’s made in Emilia-Romagna, where the chef is from." - Robert Sietsema
