NYC: Morandi

Morandi is an authentic and rustic Italian trattoria that specializes in homemade pastas, incredible meat dishes, and fresh tomatoes and cheeses. It was recommended by an Italian waiter, Jess' friend, and a NY blogger that Jess reads. We knew it was a must-try!

It is located in the West Village (Jess' favorite neighborhood) and only a $10 cab ride from our hotel (Lex and 51st). No matter where you go in NYC, it seems to be a $10 cab.
We were drooling over the entire menu but ended up ordering: fried green olives stuffed with sausage, grilled squid with peppers, capers & olives, Vitello alla milanese (veal milanese- Nan & Jess), triangular penne with shrimp, artichoke & arugula (Nan & Jess), saffron pasta with spicy lamb & ricotta salata (Bob), and a pasta with a duck bolognese (Mike).

Overall: 9.75/10 (amazing!)
