What to order

from the menu

Italian — food to try

  1. Cacio e pepeask if they make it

    Pecorino, black pepper, pasta water. Three ingredients, nowhere to hide.

  2. Lasagnaask if they make it

    Layered and baked — the dish most kitchens make ahead and are proud of.

  3. Chicken parmask if they make it

    The Italian-American classic. Ask if the cutlet is pounded to order.

  4. Tiramisuask if they make it

    Espresso-soaked and unbaked — the right way to end.
