"“This Italian restaurant on Amsterdam in the 90s is very small—there’s books lining the walls and it looks like a library. It's casual and elegant at the same time. The eggplant parmigiano is really good, which is, for me, the mark of an Italian restaurant. The eggplant has to be cut properly, and there has to be the right balance between the cheese and the sauce and the eggplant itself—soft, with some texture, but not too much. It can’t be with too much skin. The pistachio pesto they make there is really good too.”" - sonal shah
