Then again, traveling to Italy is always a fun adventure. There is a sense of Italian Famiglia, family, and kinship within the Botte group. Chef Antonio Costa opened the first Botte Bar and has returned to enhance his Roman family recipes from generations ago.There is a table for everyone at Botte.

I will never NOT go to Carmine's while visiting New York! It is the absolute best food every single time I go. Portion size is unbelievable, plenty for 4 hungry adults. Calamari was excellent! We ordered the special for the day, can't remember the name but it was penne pasta with a spicy sausage and vodka sauce - 10/10. Make reservations early!

We had a great birthday celebration dinner at Bad Roman. Our waiter Humberto was very attentive and efficient. Nice ambience, great food, great wines and cocktails. We ordered a variety of appetizers including the eggplant pull-a -parm , the meatballs, ribs. Very generous portions and delicious. The eggplant I thought was amazing, which came with a nice dipping sauce. We had the Il Divorzio Half and Half and the Short Rib Pappardelle which were generous,portions and tasty. We could not finish it all and took the rest home. We will definitely be back!
