One of my fave Italian resto's in Yorkville!
Have come here a couple times for lunch with coworkers. The service is fairly fast and a morning-of reservation is sufficient on weekdays. The place is PACKED every time I went, even for lunch on the odd Monday or Thursday. It's quite small and I was seated on the first floor both times, not sure how the second floor looks like but hopefully will get to sit up there next time I go
Spaghetti alla Chitarra con Vongole e Gamberi: little neck clams, Tiger shrimp, white wine, fresh tomato, chilies - I thought the clams were sauced with too much vinegar - or rather, the white wine they chose wasn't exactly to my liking. The spaghetti itself was delicious and the shrimp was cooked well too. A very satisfying meal.
Fettuccine alla Bolognese: veal and beef ragout, shaved parmigiano - I had this the first time I went, and I liked this dish for its meatiness compared to the other pastas offered :P The parmesan made the dish.
Two of my coworkers had the Mafalde ai Funghi - which was a pasta dish with a variety of mushrooms and the malfade pasta was especially ribbon-like so it looked to hold more sauces than other types of pasta. Coworker attested to the creamy deliciousness of the dish and I think I would get this the next time I go back :)
