"Chef/owner, and Rome native, Antonio Morichini goes to painstaking efforts to faithfully recreate the cuisine of his home county at his trattoria in Astoria, Queens. Many of his ingredients, from cured ham to various cheeses, are imported from Italy. Northern Italian pastas make up most of the selection, but a handful of Roman specialties, like bucatini all’Amatriciana and spaghetti carbonara, are an interesting detour." - The MICHELIN Guide
