“I got the lemon risotto and my boyfriend got the lamb ragu. His was dry and mine was so one-note and middling.”

“They have a robust vegetable menu and sometimes that’s the balance I need in my life. The salad is perfection. I dream of those grilled artichoke hearts swimming in lemon and olive oil with garlicky aioli on the side.”

“But overall it seemed to be a pleasant little Italian trattoria in the West Village neighborhood. I don't think it's meant to be a "showstopper" type restaurant.”

replying to u/adhi-: > simple, exceptional ingredients prepared often perfectly exactly. ate there last week and our group ordered quite a bit. all the hits and more. but the thing that blew me away the most was actually the berries and custard dessert! when i ate there in the summer, it was the pesto pasta. these aren't mind blowing recipes, but they were so perfect as to be memorable.
“It’s no Michelin restaurant- to me it’s better. No fuss, no gastronomic tricks. Just excellent ingredients prepared simply but impeccably.”

replying to u/Electronic-Royal-201: and it’s the same people who don’t get the Via Carota hype 🤷🏽‍♀️ it’s objectively good, just not extraordinarily different.
“I’ve never been disappointed there but I love things like the subtle hint of nutmeg you taste in their Parmesan sauce, and the leeks are just stupidly good to me. The rabbit is also very tasty.”

“the quality is amazing but it’s consistent. I can’t believe that just pasta with butter and prosciutto can taste as good as they make it 🥹🥹”
