This was a last-minute walk-in spot. π(Truth be told, it was just too cold that day to wait for a reservation...) The best dishes were the mushroom croquettes and the pre-meal bread. π€ Just realized that "croquettes" is actually a phonetic translation. The anchovy salad was good, and I forgot the main ingredient of the wide pasta (the menu lets you choose directly by pasta shape). The freshly caught cod took a long time to arriveβso long that it felt like it might have actually been freshly caught... It was a bit overcooked, maybe because cod can easily fall apart, becoming a bit of an upper-palate assassin. π The postcards in the store are super cute. After finishing the meal, I walked to Chinatown and saw Lao Sha Dong Guotie. I was still hungry... π Gemma | 335 Bowery, New York, NY 10003 #NYCFoodie #BabyFood #FoodieDaily ππ
