Via Carota
Effortless Italian that feels like a secret everyone knows. The kind of place where the menu changes with the seasons and the pasta is always perfect.
What to Expect
A charming corner spot where two celebrated chefs (Jody Williams and Rita Sodi) serve rustic Italian with zero pretense. The carciofi alla giudia are legendary.
The Tip
Skip the reservation struggle - go at 5:30pm for walk-in seats at the bar. Order the insalata verde and whatever pasta they're running.
