Perfect for a casual meal or an easy takeout option!

Salad was fine, like any boxed salad you'd buy but definitely pricey for what it was. On the list of chocolate chip cookies in NYC, unfortunately this one does not rank high. It was way too salty, the texture was too hard, and there was way too much chocolate; I normally would not complain about this, but because the chocolate is a bit bitter, it does not work well with this cookie. I liked that it was not too sweet, but would not have minded it being just a smidge sweeter.

Was so happy to try it take out! Ordered the rigatoni penn vodka pasta. Order came with a side of bread and Parma cheese. Pasta had tomato's in it and was mildly spicy in my option.

There was a line, of course, there always is, and the wait was longer than what we were willing to endure for fare as simple and as common as a sandwich. It was worth the 20-minute wait. We ordered the Milano special, packed with cold meats, tomatoes, pickled peppers, cheese, and lettuce between two soft sesame rolls. It looked magnificent. It tasted magnificent. It was a sandwich to rule all sandwiches. I'd brave the line for that any day.

We got two…read moresandwiches and a few cookies, OH and tried the cheesy pasta shells (the sauce and melted cheese was everything) Also, the feel of the market is cozy and special. The staff is super nice and eager to help. It feels like a special neighborhood gem and you can really feel the family owned vibe. 1. Proscuitto burtata (amore) - fresh fresh fresh and quality ingredients. The proscuitto was perfect along with the burrata, arugula and balsamic glaze on ciabatta which was sweet mix. We were deciding on this one and the proscuitto tomato but we are glad we got this one! 2. Chicken caesar salad wrap- I think I could easily say this is the best caesar salad wrap i've had. The dressing was light and not overpowering with the mix of the chicken, croutons and outside wrap was a truly stellar combination. Very fresh and wasnt soggy one bit. the cookies: small black n white cookie, rainbow cookie and chocolate sprinkle and all were hits! my favorite was the black n white because the icing melts right off the soft cookie texture and tastes more like a cake than a cookie. All were amazing and is a must try when visiting. absolutely rec when you're on the east side!

The flavors were good, the portion was surprisingly filling and they have a great lunch deal for $15 fettuccine Alfredo with a topping I believe. They have some nice soda options to choose from and everything is made fresh. Even as I was there I could see them hurling in large bags of flour for the pasta they make. For a good reasonably priced fresh pasta bite I would recommend to anyone working or hanging out nearby def give them a try!

Walking in, there is a decent amount of seating and you can see them making the food fresh in front of you. I do like how small the menu is - small menu generally menus fresher food. I don't really eat dairy so just ordered the fettuccine without cheese and then chose the arrabbiata sauce. I wish they gave me a heads up about how spicy the sauce would be - my mouth was legit on fire. Food wise - I didn't love the portion sizes, I was definitely hungry after it was over and felt the texture of the pasta was softer than I'd like - probably because it's fresh. Even though I was burned this time (literally with the spice), I'd be down to come back and try another one of their sauces and even be more open minded about adding dairy since it seems like one of their specialties!

I got 2 dry aged Delmonico steaks that came out to be ~$90, so $45 each, and for the size and quality, I thought it was super worth for our semi- fancy at home dinner. It came with garlic butter, which i did think couldve been more garlicky, but the steak was so tender and delicious. The shop is quite small, so there may be a wait, but staff are super friendly! Ottomanelli also has many other cuts, but i highly recommend the dry aged steak!

We ordered the chicken marsala, mussels, seafood pasta, salad, and creme brulee. Mussels were good, salad was expected, seafood pasta was okay (portion size good), but the chicken marsala's chicken didn't cut right. Chicken should be plumb, and cut cleanly with the knife, Every cut, I felt like I was tearing the chicken not cutting it, so to me it's either the chicken is bad? Overcooked? Something was wrong with the chicken. I'm so disappointed as I really was looking forward to it. Creme Brulée was huge, tasted fine. And I hate this part - all entree served with a side of rigatoni pomodoro - no substitutions. Yup - my chicken marsala came with a side of rigatoni pomodoro. Makes no sense, and maybe it's a 'bonus' but it just felt cheap, like it wasn't an entire meal, and they want you to get a $14 side of spinach cause it doesn't come with the bad chicken marsala. Yes, $28 for chicken marsala and I got two pieces of chicken that tear when I try to cut it.

I'm used to getting ravioli from an Italian Superstore that's dotted across Long Island. Good? Yeah maybe but what I grew up with? Nah. I'm in The Bronx and I'm going to stop at Borgatti's Ravioli for our Sunday dinner. Walking into the store, it's very small. There are high glass partitions, no touching just pointing. I see the various pastas and ravioli but I want the big suckas. Small ravioli? C'Mon! I made the best red sauce that I will drown these raviolis in a sea of tomatoes. The small raviolis just can't swim in my pot! The older gentleman behind the counter asks if he can help me. I ask him to open the box and actually show me the larger ravioli. Oh baby, they are large and in charge. Why I walked out with one box still boggles my mind because I should have bought 3. I'm not in the area too often and the extra boxes would have carried me through the winter. I hand over my cash and the gentleman says God Bless to me. I'm not getting blessings on Long Island! When I came home, my wife made the perfect Sunday dinner. Those raviolis came straight from the 70s. Simply perfect. God Bless us, everyone.
