Mediterranean restaurant ★4.0

225 Bowery, New York, NY 10002, USA

4.0
HIDDEN GEM ALERT. This has become one of my favorite restaurants. The food is great (it was not that way when it first opened). My faves are the oysters, the mushroom with ricotta and fried bread, the clams with chorizo and the spaghetti. Also the waitstaff is fantastic. And best of all, you can hear yourselves talk here.UPDATE 1/14: do not know what is going on. New menu every few days, total turnover in staff. It’s become very hit or miss. Still beautiful space and food is generally good. - Irma Zandl
