"At first glance, Bar Pietro looks like your average neighborhood haunt—until you take in the lobster phone and walls covered in enough stickers to make a dive bar proud. Knock back tiny beers, midday vermuts, and espressos over a quick snack, ideally with a newspaper in hand. You’ll be wisely nudged toward the tortilla española with truffle, but don’t overlook the cecina. This salt-cured beef is sliced to order, and its deep, savory richness teams up wonderfully with a citrusy-sweet glass of vermut." - David Neimanis
