This independently owned Roman style trattoria offers a simple, modern menu with Italian overtones. Dishes change weekly and source local ingredients. Try the grilled calamari.
Great homemade lasagna, eggplant parmesan, plus fine selection of meats, cheeses and cold cuts. And to top it off, they grind their own Italian sausage. Dine-out only.
Heat-seeking Sichuan dumplings sparkle beside steamed sausage potstickers. Succulent barbecued duck is there beside pork stomach and hot peppers, and other dishes with offal. Impressive are the soups. Rustic crocks dot most tables. Your choiceof broths; proteins; vegetables, mushrooms and greens; and noodles.
Since 1977, the Margiotis family has been serving good-old, straightforward, home-cooked breakfast in Plaza Midwood with their simple menu of eggs, bacon, pancakes and pork chops.
Worthy of note is the three-hour slow-cooked meat sauce and the spicy spaghetti arribbiatta. The oddity (speaking as a former resident of the Manhattan area) is the open flame thin-crust grilled pizza. But, no worries. They serve regular pliable crust pizzas, too.
