Marta - The Newest from Union Square Hospitality

Recommended Posts

With Chef Nick Anderer at the helm, the newest restaurant from Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group hits the ground running. Nick is also the head chef at Maialino, another favorite of ours; Marta is the chef and Danny's latest take on Roman cuisine, that of the Roman pizzeria, as a matter of fact.

 

That (a Roman pizzeria) means that in addition to pizza, there's plenty of other good stuff to eat. And eat we did - 4 of us scarfed down a good portion of the menu - there wasn't anything I wouldn't have again (well, maybe the octopus, but that's just 'cause I'm sick of octopus in general).

 

3 pies, beer brined chicken, a bunch of apps, cocktails, wine - we were happy campers. This is the Margherita...

Went to Marta last night - and it was slammed.

 

Everything was quite good - I've always especially liked the appetizers/small plates.

 

And check out how the Margherita looks (at least last night) now. @Chris Hennes @Robenco15

Still a nice, thin crust - but not as crispy as a "true" Roman pizza.  And whoever made our pie was heavy on the cheese, giving the pie a little more tenderness.

 

Note to anyone interested - from 3 PM to 6 PM - all pizzas are half price, cocktails are $10, and house wines and beer are available at a nice discount.

We used to go to Marta once in a while when we lived in teh hood.... haven't been in a long time though - glad to hear it's doing well.

 

It was rockin'. Service (for a USHG resto) is not what it was 5 to 7 years ago, but what is?
