“It was just lacking the flavor I was hoping for! The occhi was in desperate need of acidity from the lemon but it didn’t come through and I didn’t taste the nduja as much as I would like in the bucatini. The ricotta toast was so bland and hard to eat with. It certainly wasn’t bad but for what we paid we would have gotten another toro ssam bap!”
H3
“I think yes there are “better” spots but these two places are pretty unique in that you won’t find those same dishes elsewhere (green butter foccacia, sheep’s milk agnolotti or Italian job gelato from Lilia or the whipped ricotta toast from misi) so it’s worth a try if you’re in nyc.”

“Finally ordered the most mid pasta that was basically 1/2 portion for $30 and left so hungry and disappointed- only the vegetables were good.”

“So much hype for way too thick, cold ricotta mousse on toast with a pathetic side of mushrooms and average tasting pasta choices that are at every Italian restaurant in nyc.”

“The only miss for us was Misi (Williamsburg): ordered the occhi and tortelli; both felt quite one-note. We sat at the kitchen counter and it was fun to watch the chefs at work, but I wasn't blown away by the food or the service.”

“Pistachio gelato from Misi”

“Whipped ricotta crostini and gelatos from Misi. The pastas were great too, very well done at a high quality, but our starter and desserts stole the show.”

“stick with Misi. great food, chic ambiance, but not stuffy”
H2
“The move at Misi is to focus on the vegetable dishes (the leeks, the grilled beans, etc are all superb IMO) over the pastas which are underwhelming.”
H2
“The Spinach & Marscapone Tortellini and the butter beans dish are my go to orders there. Everything else has been pretty hit or miss”
H2
“I’m a Misi > lilia person. I like that it’s pasta and vegetables mostly. I’ve never been disappointed”

“I think it’s generally great. I prefer their vegetable dishes over the pastas though, not even that the pastas aren’t lovely but the veggies are exceptional.”

H2
“The only miss on this trip was lunch at Misi (Williamsburg): ordered the occhi and tortelli and both felt quite one-note. We did sit at the kitchen counter which was fun, but I wasn't blown away by either the food or the service.”

“Lilia and Misi have unique vermouth/aperetivo type mocktails, usually only one on the menu at at a time, but I’ve tried a few and they’ve all been amazing.”
H2
“I've been three times and have enjoyed it each time. I've had a different seasonal take on the ricotta toast each time and they were all well executed.”
