Friends of ours order Marotta's for carry out often and they order it 1/2 baked and then finish it on a pizza stone at home so it perfectly warm and crisp.
It is on our list of must-try!

It was so nice to be able to join everyone at Carrie Cerino's. What a feast!!!!! I just now (it is 8:45p) ate the pork cannelloni that I couldn't eat at lunch.
It was great meeting everyone and Bill, Nolan, Reagan and I look forward to next years gathering. Maybe next year the twins will be able to enjoy something other than Enfamil :-)
Here are pics of the CRS and the gelato:

Vivo has an extensive wine list, so it is not BYOB.

I can't say enough good things about Carrie Cerino's and Dominic.
The salumi board is amazing. That paper thin, buttery meat just melts in your mouth.
I can't wait to see what interesting things Dominic brings back from his trip to Italy.
I'm so glad everyone is discovering & enjoying this gem.

I've got to get to CAM. I stopped at Tink Holl ( 36th & Payne) the other day. The place is so much bigger than it was, but it was INCREDIBLY smelly. More so than your fish market kind of smell. It was so strong I couldn't even browse, just found what I needed and left.

I highly recommend Lolita (the "baby sister" of Lola). Lola is moving downtown and is not yet open. Lolita has a lot of small plates that are excellent and well as great meals. It is in the former Lola space.
Velvet Tango Room is another gem we've recently discovered. You have to try a Ramos Gin Fizz, you won't be disappointed.
I don't know anyone that finds the flats enjoyable anymore. To me, it is in shambles and a waste of our waterfront space. That area should be like Chicago or Baltimore and it fails. If you are a foodie, I think you'd be disappointed in the dining option there. If you like beer on the other hand, Rock Bottom has improved a ton over the past few years. Their food is not bad either.... OK, the flats has one place I'd consider.
Fat Cats in Tremont is another fun place, Halite (one block from the West Side Market) is owned by the same folks as Fat Cats (and Halite--more bar than restaurant, but good small plates) and is the lesser priced of the two.
If you like beer and are on W. 25th, stop at the Bier Market. I don't know if there kitchen is open, but they sure have a HUGE selection of beer. You could always walk over to the Flying Fig or Great Lakes Brewing Co. from there.
Speaking of Great Lakes.... they've had a new chef for some time and the place has really turned around. He is trying to keep the old favorites, but add new twists and also added a lot of completly new stuff. Worth a stop.
Have a great visit!

I agree. Enough is enough. Pretty soon she'll have her own sitcom.

I put a little in a won-ton wrapper, fry it up and serve with a sauce (whatever I feel like coming up with) sometimes it is just choco and hazelnuts, other times it is a raspberry puree.....sometimes even some gelato.
Someone mentioned that Giada DeLaurentis did this on her show, I've been doing it for years. Love it!

I want to know who decided this is a "famous bowl".... I mean, it has been on the market for all of a couple of weeks. How is it famous already? Sounds to me like it is going to be infamous.

Yes! As Nancy said, my wish was her command.
What an excellent meal. The pizza was so good, but hubby's pasta dish was out of this world. The depth of flavor in the sauce was excellent.
The wine we had was a great companion to the pizza, it was a blend of sangiovese and colorino, the name escapes me at the moment and it was a special so it is not on the website.
I did notice on their site that they have grappa. Nice after dinner treat for next time
