Rating: Tasty!
Alex and I had an opportunity to go out to dinner by ourselves in New York — then 2.5 years later he and my wife and I returned…
…so of course we chose pizza.
The menu.
Olives to start.
Bread.
A glass of Aglianico.
Prosciutto e Burrata. 24 Month Aged Prosciutto Di Parma, Burrata Cheese, Castelvetrano Olives, Grilled Country Bread Bruschetta.
Spinaci. Spinach, beets, goat cheese, mango, pistachio nuts.
Polpettine Passi e Pinoli. Home-style Neapolitan meatballs, Italian pine nuts, raisins, broccoli rabe.
Simple pasta for the boy in 2019.
Margherita pizza. San Marzano Tomatoes, Mozzarella, Basil (Alex declined the basil as usual).
Ragu Napoletano. Smoked Buffalo Mozzarella, Traditional Neapolitan Veal And Pork Ragú. Not a traditional topping, but it did make for a delicious pizza.
Cavofiore e Tartufo. Roasted cauliflower, mozzarella, sausage, black truffle sauce. Interesting, but a bit weird.
The dessert menu.
Chocolate and Vanilla gelato.
Amalfi Coast-Delizia al Limone. Lemon and cream sponge cake.
I LOVE this traditional (circa 1900) Sorento dessert. Traditionally, it’s a dome-shaped lemon sponge cake with limoncello cream and has an amazing Sorento Lemon flavor. You can see one at the source here.
Clearly Alex hated the gelato.
He looks older but not too different 2.5 years later!
In 2019, as we were rushing off to see Hamilton I felt the extreme need for speed (aka caffeine) in the form of this macchiato.
PizzArte didn’t disappoint. For whatever reason it was much more satisfying than Marta a couple days before and Alex and I enjoyed our meal immensely. Our server was friendly and delightful and the food was straight up and delicious.
