๐ Hidden Gem: An Undiscovered Italian Restaurant in NYC ๐
Sharing a hidden treasureโa genuine Italian restaurant tucked away in Midtown East, New York! ๐ Fettuccine alla Ragu Bolognese ๐ ๐ Classic Bolognese sauce paired with Parmesan cheese is simply irresistible (you can skip the cheese if you prefer)! The handmade pasta is incredibly chewy, and the meat sauce is deeply flavorful! Highly recommended! ๐ Bisteca ๐ฅฉ Grilled sirloin steak cooked over charcoal! Unlike a typical steakhouse cut, this grilled sirloin is medium rare by defaultโperfectly browned on the outside (not burnt!) and tender inside. ๐ This classic Italian steak is seasoned only with salt, highlighting the quality and texture of the beef itself. It's very aromatic, though not as flavorful as the pasta. But the meat quality is truly impressive! ๐ Calamari Fritti ๐ฆ I often enjoy fried squid rings in Thai cuisine, but today I discovered it's actually an Italian dish! "Calamaro" or "calamari" means squid (and ink bottle) in Italian. ๐ These fried squid rings are super crispy, and the accompanying red sauce (a special tomato-based sauce) is incredibly refreshing! ๐ณ #NewYork #HiddenGems #ItalianCuisine ๐๐ฟ
