Cititour Review:

Now that's Italian! Eating in Ottimo, in the city's Flat Iron section, is like taking a trip to Naples. The place is warm and hospitable. The restaurant, located in a townhouse, boasts french doors, terra cotta floors and lots of woodwork. The hostess, from Naples, is the real deal. All the food is fabulous. Start with some artichokes sautéed in olive oil and garlic, grilled portobello mushrooms or clams and mussels in a white wine sauce. But be sure to save some room for pasta. You won't be disappointed. The Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, Tagliatelle pasta in a meat sauce was so good I was savoring every bite. There's also homemade gnochetti (potato dumplings), risotto and rigatoni. Veal, chicken and seafood dishes provide the main course. Or you can order one of Ottimo's fabulous pies. The Neapolitan pizza is superb. The Margherita con Prosciutto di Parma made with fresh slices of prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella is excellent. Even the espresso was outstanding, not an easy fete in a city like New York.
