Best Pasta-based Dish in NYC?

[yankeefan]

anything is game:

spaghetti
stuffed ravioli
cheese/no cheese
simple/exotic
cheap/ridiculously pricey

you name it!

Everything on the primi section at Lupa but I feel the bucatini and the orrechietti are the absolute best "heavy" pastas. The spaghetti aglio e olio for the most simple. Oh and the linguine with mussels and jalapeños for most inventive.

The gnocchi at Barbuto for the best texture.

Il Buco has a papperdelle with pheasant ragu that is so thin and delicate I would fork over my paycheck just to eat it everyday.

I'm partial to the Ravioli at Al Di La. It's got a creamy and decadent filling that includes beets.

Garganelli with proscuitto and truffle butter at the old Fiamma- I believe Chef White is making it still at l'Impero, where he now resides.

Ricotta Gnocchi at Lupa.

I love the orichette with broccoli rabe and spicy sausage at Crispo- pretty standard dish but so f'n delicious!

Venison paparadelle at Robert Passon on 9th and 49th.

Everyone says it, but it deserves repeating: the gnudi at The Spotted Pig is one of the most deliciously rich dishes I have ever had.

Oh, and if you're in the neighborhood, my pasta kicks ass too.

Paceri (sp?) with veal sauce at Al Di La.

[Striver]

"Casoncelli alla bergomasca" at ViceVersa

Outside of Manhattan - fusilli or radiatore "in cartoccio" at Roberto's (Bronx)

[kam0424]

thats great to hear about vice versa, as it is in my hood. now, i may sound like a total amateur, but can you describe what that dish is?

[Striver]

A description of the dish from the restaurant's website:
Veal, raisin and amaretto cookies filled ravioli with sage, butter and pancetta

The casoncelli are more cylindrical than other ravioli - sort of like small bolsters. The combination of tastes and textures is awesome.

Have yet to be so lucky as to try Batali's Babbo, which I heard is spectacular...but for the time being, I'd say the spaghetti in uni sauce at Basta Pasta--really quite a wonderful Japanese spin on pasta!

I was very disappointed with the uni pasta. I didn't feel the uni added anything to the boring pink sauce.
