"My New York spidey senses told me that I might have decent luck walking in on the Monday night of a long weekend, and we were rewarded with two bar seats less than 15 minutes after we put our names on the waitlist. I absolutely love the quick service you get from sitting at the bar, and the fact that the full menu is available. While you can’t go wrong with any of the pastas, the dish that truly stood out this time was the extremely simple burrata and prosciutto ($28). The burrata was creamy and topped with a dash of olive oil, with the cured meat providing plenty of salt as a balance — a pitch perfect showcase of just how much you can do with a few simple ingredients. — Stephanie Wu, editor-in-chief" - Nat Belkov
