"Lillo Cucino Italiana has been reviewed, raved about, Instagrammed, and TikTok’d: Somehow, it still feels like a hidden gem. Part of that is because of the owner, Giampietro “Lillo” Remia, who will probably take your order and make your pasta, too. He’s known for his traditional, unfussy Italian food: cacio e pepe, chicken Milanese, and tiramisu. The place is teeny — there are about 15 seats — and it doesn’t take reservations. Cash only." - Eater Staff
