B’artusi
Can't snag a seat at neighborhood mainstay L'Artusi? You might have better luck down the block at B’artusi, the restaurant's more relaxed (and walk-in only!) wine bar and eatery. Long-time L'Artusi executive chef Joe Vigorito oversees the kitchen, which whips up Italian-inspired dishes and a selection of shareable bites. There's wagyu tartare, tuna crudo, and lasagna bolognese bianco, panini sandwiches, and veggie-focused takes on classics (asparagus cacio e pepe, anyone?). All to be washed down by vino and aperitivo, of course.
