Max the best lasagna?

[steakrules85]

Everyone raves about their lasagna. Is it still the best in the city? I love lasagna but prefer mine without meat just tons of ooey gooey mozzarella, ricotta, sauce, and layers of that beautiful lasagna. I would try a lasagna with meat just NO SAUSAGE as I am not a sausage lover or liker lol for that matter. I heard Insiemes is good too, but that is spinach rendition with meat.

If you want to try a meatless version, I really like the mushroon lasagna at Gramercy tavern. It's vegetarian, but it is still very hearty and filling.

I have a picture attached.

(p.s. I do like the lasagna at Insieme)

Wow that looks awesome. But like I said I am looking for the good old fashioned one in marinara sauce.

Insieme's Lasagna verde Bolognese is my favorite. It's just so well balanced, sooo tasty.

If I understand the post , it says the restaurant named Max has is noted for good lasagna. If i understand that correctly i have to say IMHO Max is a bargain but I would not eat their if it was free. Everything is horrible their ,i even couldnt eat their spinach.
I think Ennio and Michael's has the best lasagna, it used to be made one day a year, on Easter Sunday. Now they have it weekly. Its just like homemade.

I like Peasant's lasagna. Le Zie also makes a good one.

I have been meaning to go to Peasant. However, I think they put goat in their lasagna. Def would try it. But I would rather have their meat dishes (bistecca fiorentina, porchetta, quail, agnello).

yep--it's a goat lasagna. It's not gamey or too distinctly goat-y, though.

I've had three memorable renditions of lasagna recently, all in the village - these are places that I didn't expect anything special:

i Tre Merli (w.10th & w.4th)
Trattoria Spaghetto (Bleecker & Carmine)
Villa Dela Pace (e.7th st & 2nd ave)

Both Bar Pitti and Le Zie have delicious, authentic lasagne. It's only about an inch thick and it's definitely like you get in Bologna, not in Little Italy. I can't remember whether it's on the menu at either restaurant or whether it's a special, but it is very special.

Cool Ill have to check the reviews out on those. Keep the recs coming baby.

It's not a red sauce lasagna, but we had a rabbit lasagna with some sort of bechamel sauce at Bacaro that was so good I made an absolute fool of myself trying to scrape the last bits up out of the pan. It was very ooey gooey -- and if you're worried about the rabbit, you'd hardly know it was there under all the delicious sauce. The portions there are pretty small though, so it's more of a lasagna snack.
