Where To Eat In The Theater District, According To Ben Platt
"“I love Italian food. I think I'm always in the camp of, like, if you're gonna go Italian, just go absolutely off and go whole hog. Let's not pretend we're not gonna feel sick. Like, let's just do this. Becco has fully unlimited pasta. There's three pastas coming around on hot pans and you can just take as much as you want if you get that deal. It’s so indulgent and the most elevated basic Italian that you can imagine. It's not Olive Garden and it's not like I Sodi, you know what I mean? It's somewhere in the middle—a really nice, yummy, easy spot. The headline is carbs, dairy, full stomach. You're coming here starving and you're ready to just absolutely carb load. It's a very comforting place. It's always warm and bustling and crowded and busy and loud with big Italian family vibes. I just find it very comforting, both culinarily and energetically. It’s a place that's just a big hug of sauce and cheese. Although I think especially for us Jews with stomachs, it's not for the faint of heart. Me and Noah tend to bring a full box of Lactaid and set it on the table anytime we go somewhere Italian.”" - brennan carley
