Review »

The latest outpost in chef Mario Batali’s empire (Babbo, Lupa) is the casual Otto. Batali’s inventive touch is everywhere, from the Italian train station decor, with high marble tables where you can stand and sip wine en route to your next destination (the table), to the robust menu of pasta classics and inventive pizzas. From simple to peculiar, the pizzas include the Bianco, drizzled with virgin olive oil and sea salt, to the Lardo, topped with strips of smoky lard. And the velvety gelato is worth a visit alone. Concocted fresh on the premises, it’s best savored in the simplest of flavors, such as lemon or chocolate. As an enoteca, Otto rivals any you’d find in the home country. Batali has long dabbled in Italian wines and here you can enjoy 400 choices, most of which you can order by the glass at prices that are easy to swallow .

ajones' rating:

"otto's is a fun vibrant pizzeria with a simple, but very good menu. nate and i had about 5 different olives to start and shared the thursday special pizza, that i knew was served every thrusday and came for, which was a pig jowl pizza. it was good but the bits of jowl were so tiny and very hard to place in taste. non the less, it was a good pizza. the olive oil gelatto is raved about here and it deserves the praise. the perfect sweet and savory flavor combo. on a side note, i also think that this is a place that you could feel comfortable bringing the kids and being able to enjoy a good dinner and nice glass of wine.
