"The fact that we’re willing to brave the chaos of the Midtown Trader Joe’s parking lot for a meal at this Italian seafood restaurant says it all, really. But if you’re still not sold, it also made an appearance on our Best Restaurants of 2023 list and our best oysters guide. It’s a spot for delicious pairings, like crispy tater tots topped with caviar, classic pasta dishes like a robust red sauce with housemade spaghetti, and crudo flights bursting with citrusy, briny, and peppery flavors. If you can’t get your friend group or a date to commit to a whole dinner, head to their daily Happy Hour from 4-6pm with $1.50 oysters and $10 cocktails to test the waters first.
