New York | A Hidden Gem of Italian Cuisine (1)📰

Carbone and Torrisi have opened a new restaurant that's surprisingly under-the-radar! It feels like a star second-generation restaurant in the culinary world (in a good way). Torrisi was open from 2011 to 2015 and reopened last December. In just three months, it's been featured in the NYTimes and Eater NY. 💯 Such a hidden gem!! The Italian flavors are spot-on, the wine list is great, and the desserts are creative. And guess what? They serve the best chicken I've had in New York's fine dining scene—tender to an astonishing degree! The ambiance is perfect for dates, gatherings, and business dinners. Although it's hard to get a reservation, it's such a delightful surprise! 😍 1️⃣ Stagione $20 🌟🌟🌟🌟 This cocktail is super refreshing! It's based on Irish whiskey with a rich apple flavor. Perfect for starting the meal! 🍸 2️⃣ Bread $0 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The butter is so fragrant! You can save some bread (or ask for more) to dip in the pasta sauce later—it's incredibly delicious. 🥪 3️⃣ Octopus Nha Trang $32 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The octopus has a slightly charred and crispy exterior, while the inside is soft, chewy, and deliciously salty. Paired with onions and mint leaves, it has a refreshing aroma. This dish is inspired by Vietnamese cuisine, and the NYTimes mentioned it as a nod to the Nha Trang One restaurant near New York's Chinatown (which uses squid). 🦑 #NewYork #HiddenGems #ItalianCuisine 🌆🌟
