Fun Fact

"Maialino" is both the nickname Meyer earned in Italy as a young man and the name of his favorite dish: roast suckling pig. Sure enough, it's on the menu--for a steep price.

Know Before You Go

Beware the weirdly placed pillars between the bar and the restrooms. They're pretty easy to run into, especially after a few glasses of wine.

Where to Sit

For a casual date, it's hard to beat the bar area, with a long, slim standalone counter and comfy stools that allow for proper people-watching as celebs waltz through the door. (This is a Danny Meyer restaurant, after all!)

FourSquare Tips

  • The Wall Street Journal
    Popular midday dishes include the peppered chicken on arugula ($19); marinated sea bass with asparagus on a salad ($19); and the pasta with black pepper, egg and guanciale, cured pig jowl ($15).

    The flavors are traditional Roman at Danny Meyer?s latest, with standout versions of bucatini all?Amatriciana and trippa alla Trasteverina. Featured in Where to Eat 2011!
  • The New York Times
    Recommended: Salumi, fried artichokes, tripe, pastas, swordfish, deviled chicken, roast suckling pig. For dessert, revive yourself with a simple affogato: vanilla ice cream drowned in espresso.

    The city?s best roast chicken is served at an Italian joint? Apparently so, says the Underground Gourmet, who deemed the spicy, impeccably rendered pollo alla diavola here their favorite.

    Come here anytime, but Brunch is spectacular. Start with the Uova al Contadino and the Salumi Misti. Don?t fill up and have some pastry too?Brioche Caramellato.
