Again, not sure I’d get on a plane just for this (luckily I only have to get on the subway), but it was so good! I would definitely order it on a plane. So earthy & creamy with homemade al dente pasta. Made with maitake mushrooms, thyme, Parmigiano Reggiano. Sigh...

This dish took me away from work & excited me enough to finally post one of my many accumulating photos! The rigatoni was perfectly al dente! The eggplant combined with the super tasty tomato sauce & pecorino…Mama Mia!💋 Maybe slightly too salty for me. Came with fresh pillowy Italian bread. The price was reasonable. Cash & take-out only at this time.

Five chefs were visiting Brooklyn, NYC from Osaka, Japan for this weekend pop up! This dish was a mashup of Italian & Japanese food & wow, was it creamy, rich & flavorful! The fat truffles were grated on to the dish, so I knew that it was authentic & it had that umami flavor. The thin golden pasta gets its color from many egg yolks. What a treat & I didn’t even need my passport!

Roasted onions, grana padano, fresh tarragon. So interesting! There are no eggs in this pasta & it has a dense & chewy texture, which I loved. The copious roasted onions & the sauce all together made for a wonderful rustic Tuscan dish.

So tasty, earthy, and perfectly cooked! Oh that sauce.

Gulf shrimp, basil pesto, pine nuts, grana padano, romanesco. The standout for me was the pillowy gnocchi in the basil pesto. Wow was that good. All the pastas here are homemade.

House Made, Milled & Extruded with cherry tomatoes, basil & garlic. I like the thick, al dente pasta. Tomatoes & basil is always a good combination, but this seems more special since everything is so darn fresh. Why can’t we always eat like this?!
