I'm going for dinner later this week. Any "must try" dishes? Thanks everyone.

the gnudi. It is my favorite pasta dish there. Couldn't tell you all the ingredients,but it has a soft, almost melty burrata cheese in it. Yum! I always order it when I go there-which is often. Ask to sit in the back room,which is a little quieter. A favorite restaurant of my family and very well priced. The meatballs,served as appetizers are pretty darn good too.

Thanks Pammi and Lucia. Great tips. Do you think the meatballs are made in house?

Agree that the gnudi are very good. Service is nice, the space is comfortable. Food is good and well-priced. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there, but it's a nice option in Midtown.

Definitely try the gnudi: I think it's one of their signature dishes. Loved the crispy prosciutto mixed into this dish. For dessert, the zeppole is to to die for. Space is tight though. You are seated thisclose to the people next to you. Also, if there is something you have your heart set on based on what you see in their online menu, call to make sure they still serve it. I found out (the hard way) that their online menu was not up-to-date.

The gnudi does sound good, indeed. I'm also thinking about the spaghetti & meatballs, as I've been on a kick since falling in love with L'Artusi's version.
Thanks for the note regarding the online menu. Good tip.

i had a business lunch here...the gnudi was good though not any different than spotted pig...i had some hangar steak with broccoli rabe that i enjoyed but nothing memorable. i did remember that the portions were surprisingly large there...i was quite stuffed.
i wouldnt particular go if i was paying though.

Thanks for the feedback. Someone else in my party chose the spot, so I'm just going along. Will report back after my meal. :)
