Where Matteo Lane Goes For “Real” Pasta In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"La Devozione is the best pasta in America and better than some places in Italy. They make carbonara, they make amatriciana, they make spaghetti al pomodoro. They are all from Italy and it's the only place outside of Italy that I've had real carbonara. They're so wonderful to me. A couple weeks after I played Radio City, I had an allergic reaction. I was falling apart. I had to go the emergency room. I couldn't breathe. I was there for hours and hours. A gay doctor luckily recognized me and was very sweet to me. But the ER was right next to La Devozione. So I was so devastated. I was like, I want f***ing pasta! Once I'm feeling better, I walk in, it was just the chef, Alessio. And I sat down next to him, we chatted for half hour, they made me carbonara and he didn't let me pay for it. They're truly the best." - brennan carley
