The handmade pastas are so superb; you may not want anything else. Marcellino Verzino is the real deal, a true Italian who's owned and operated award-winning restaurants in both Rome and NYC, yet he still enjoys making things from scratch. There's saffron linguine, porcini-infused fettuccine, potato gnocchi, fettuccine that's black from squid ink, and there's more to the menu than pasta, but that is what you are sure to remember above all.
