When I arrived last night at I Trulli in Manhattan for an aperitivo before dinner, the whole Marzovilla mispucha was just sitting down for dinner.
From 3-6 p.m., family matriarch Dora and her son Nicola had served guests the same menu that they serve at Dora’s house for Sunday dinner: all the classic antipasti, like homemade gardiniera and sottaceti, housemade cavatelli and orecchiette, braciole and meatballs…
I wish I would have known!
I couldn’t resist 2007 Valentini Trebbiano by the glass at a great price (Nicola imports it so he has the best pricing I’ve ever seen on these wines, among my all-time favorites).
Paired brilliantly with Dora’s panzerotto, stuffed with chard and anchovies. So good…
And of course, for dinner, I couldn’t have just one of the pastas so I asked the waiter to prepare a tris of cavatelli with broccoli raab, orecchiette with rabbit ragù, and malloreddus with classic ragù.
I love and have always loved the restaurant and for my money, it’s the best housemade pasta in the City (and great Nebbiolo list).
Nice fireplace too
So did you trust in the Cot? :)
Jar, this looks and sounds phenomenal! I could go for a little cucina pugliese right about now
