This high-style Italian eatery is tucked away in Tudor City. There are simple plates of pasta, such as a wonderful bowl of perfect handmade spaghetti with tiny clams, and more intricate plates like roast guinea hen with dandelion greens. The service is flawless, the wine list is an Italian encyclopedia and the decor is serene and civilized. On summer evenings, sit outside in the tiny front courtyard.
