Where is bar pitti

And how did the front-of-house folks treat you? Service is a little brusque and rough around the edges, but that's part of the charm. Bottom line is, you aren't here for great service. It's all about that outdoor seating scene and the second-to-none people watching. Take your out of town guests here for an "only in New York" type of experience, where they'll see a full cross-section of downtown denizens and get a great meal, to boot.

Locanda Verde. Cafe Mogador. Marchetto had initially conceived of a more casual Pitti as part of an expansion, but a family tragedy inspired him to enlist a partner, Giovanni Tognozzi.

What's left is a sienna-painted bare-bones space packed with wooden tables—greatly improved by a mirrored wall and exceptional outdoor seating. A blackboard of twenty or so static specials extend the basic Tuscan menu: assembled antipasti like oil-packed tuna jumbled with cannellini beans, quick-fry pasta, the storied veal meatballs, etc. The chic reputation carried over from Da Silvano still fills the spot with Mikli-framed gallery types peeking at each other, but it's the fast-moving Italian guy in faded pajama pants who gives this place its mystique.

The food was by far better than some places in little Italy. Bar Pitti's pasta dishes are popular with diners. These include the homemade pappardelle alla fiesolana with smoked bacon, tomatoes, cream and parmigiana and the taglierini all'empolese, a tantalizing combination of artichokes, leeks, garlic and fresh tomatoes.

Try the cocoa-dusted tartufo chocolate and vanilla ice cream with a steaming cup of espresso for a proper end to your dining experience.
