Lattanzi Cucina Italiana

SNL’s Favorite New York Italian Restaurant Is Lattanzi | Eater NY

"Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels has a go-to, charmingly unglamorous Italian spot in midtown where, as reported by the New York Times, he hosts a weekly Tuesday dinner with his show's hosts and select crew members. The tradition dates back decades at the restaurant, which opened in 1984. Previous attendees recount dishes like bucatini all’amatriciana and broccoli rabe with sauce eaten during dinners where celebrities revealed small personal anecdotes — Anya Taylor-Joy, for example, who noted when she was a child, she carried around an egg." - Nadia Chaudhury
