Overview

Well-manicured Gen-Y couples have found their restaurant of choice for sumptious dining in the East Village; so, too, have we. Wild game, rich sauces and dramatic flavors make this rustic, candlelit Sardinian restaurant a place to fill your belly and warm your soul. The food is top notch, the service very good, and the final tab fairly commensurate with the quality of the meal.

Why You Should Go

  • Fresh seasonal seafood appetizers are the tops, and the veal rolled with cheese and basil is exquisite.
  • The food neither sits heavy in the stomach nor glistens on the plate; however, it is rich and the eating experience is packed with eons-old pleasure gained from consuming copious fat grams.
  • The virgin fruit drinks are an excellent treat for non-drinkers; the coffee is superb.

What You Should Know

  • No credit cards accepted; bring cash.
  • Arrive before 9pm. The restaurant will be filled to capacity afterwards.
  • Portions are moderate: make sure to order more than just one course to be satiated.
  • Porcetto Sardo al Mirto tastes just like chicken.
