"Ah yes, stuffed farfalle with tobiko and buttermilk foam, just like they do it in small-town Sicily. As the Minion-yellow dining room and martini with garlic bread vodka suggest, San Sabino from the Don Angie people leans non-traditional. The spritz-fueled West Village spot is Italian American with a bit of Malibu tossed in, and it’s a fun place to listen to surf rock while you dip ritz crackers in a buttery crab dip. Dabble in the pastas, but pay more attention to the small plates like the octopus carpaccio and stuffed mussels with lemon aioli. Reservations are released a week in advance at 9am, but the restaurant welcomes walk-ins at the bar. We lined up outside at 4:30pm on a Thursday, and came back for a bar seat at 7pm." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, tiffany yannetta
"A Manhattan restaurant that experiments with bold pairings in its fish charcuterie approach, such as combining spicy capocollo with octopus carpaccio to create novel flavor contrasts and textural interplay." - Adam H. Callaghan
"Opening next door to Don Angie, and from its chefs Angela Rito and Scott Tacinelli, San Sabino describes itself as Italian American seafood, and in that context promotes some wacky but lovable notions — humongous prawns, for example, smothered in melted cheese, and a dill-draped crab and mortadella dip furnished with Ritz crackers. The bright yellow dining room looks out on a bucolic West Village scene." - Robert Sietsema
"A newly opened seafood-centric eatery by Angela Rito and Scott Tacinelli, located next to Don Angie. It features dishes focused on seafood and handmade pastas in their signature Italian American style." - Shivani Vora
