"Meaning “glimmer” in Italian, Barlume is an all-day spot in Flatiron from the people behind Scarpetta. They serve food inspired by the Italian coastline, along with other Mediterranean regions. Think things like braised artichokes with mint and lemon, octopus served in Catalan style with pickled onions and kalamata olives, pastas, and pinsas (not pizzas, but Roman-style flatbreads). They’ve also got a bar/nightclub downstairs for cocktails and snacks. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Will Hartman
