This is one of the best restaurants in NYC. The dishes are small and meant for sharing, which makes it easy to taste a wide range of flavors. The experience almost feels like a tasting menu, with dishes served in a thoughtful progression, starting with raw preparations and ending with richer, heavier plates. I have celiac disease, so I didn’t try the bread or the spaghetti dish, which looked like the most luscious carbonara, but my friends were raving about both. Besides those, we ordered the hamachi crudo, fennel salad, gigante beans, asparagus, and jamón ibérico. The hamachi was surprising and absolutely delicious, with bright citrus and sesame oil as the dominant flavors with the fish. The fennel salad was creamy and perfectly marinated, bringing out the anise flavor beautifully. The gigante beans were served over a lemony labneh, making for a hearty, rich vegetarian dish. We ordered the asparagus and jamón together, and they paired perfectly. The asparagus was served over a goat-cheese-like spread and showcased an intense, sweet baby asparagus flavor, while the jamón ibérico was silky, savory, and perfectly balanced. Can't recommend this place enough.
