Forsythia, the East Village Pasta Spot (1)
Garganelli Verdi, green hand-rolled pasta. This dish has a striking color, but it's actually a meat dish. The lamb sauce is rich and flavorful, with a hint of spiciness. The mint adds a refreshing touch, making it a delightful combination. ππΏ π Capunti Putanesca, "lady of the night" pea pasta. This type of pasta is quite rare and resembles a pod of peas after being shelled. The name is a direct translation from Italian, and it's worth noting that Italians are quite bold with their naming conventions... The specific origins might not be suitable to share on this platform. The dish is made with tomatoes, black olives, and tuna, resulting in a flavor that is tangy, spicy, and aromatic, leaving a lasting impression. π² π’ Agnolotti di Coda alla Vaccinara, oxtail-filled ravioli. This is the restaurant's signature dish. The creamy sauce is thick and rich, and the meat filling is so tender it melts in your mouth. The pairing is simply perfect. π π Maritozzo, Roman cream-filled bread. In Italy, this is considered a romantic gift for a marriage proposal. A man would hide an engagement ring in the cream and present it to his girlfriend. πΈ The bread here is not only sweet and fragrant but also has a chewy, elastic texture. The soft and fluffy cream is mouth-watering. π₯ͺ πThe restaurant is incredibly small, with only three to four tables for indoor dining. This makes it quite challenging to book on Resy. Since it made the Michelin list last week, it has suddenly become a must-visit spot and has gained a lot more popularity than before. π Address: 9 Stanton St, New York, NY 10002 #NewYork π½π
