Item Description
Enjoy a day in Little Italy with the Torrisi boys: Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi. The Italian duo will lead four lucky guests through the neighborhood, pointing out all their favorite shops and sharing their secrets to culinary success.
Following the tour, cozy up to an exclusive table at Torrisi - one of the most difficult restaurants in New York City to lock down a reservation - and be served like a real vip with great wines from the Food & Wine Magazine cellar.
More from Food & Wine Magazine:
Torrisi is the brainchild of Rich Torrisi and Mario Carbone, alums of Café Boulud (in fact, their ex-boss, Locanda Verde chef Andrew Carmellini, introduced me to the place).
Both men are obsessed with Italian-American delis; both were dismayed when they got to New York City and couldn’t find any good ones. So the display case at Torrisi features gorgeous little cured anchovies, a big dish of meat lasagna and homemade eggplant caponata.
The list of sandwiches includes chicken parm (doused in a really good tomato sauce) and the Italian combo, which Carbone describes as the “hall of fame of Italian pork products”; the spicy version was hefty and delicious. Although pretty much everything in the place is Italian in spirit, it’s all made in America (New York magazine reports that they even favor Progresso bread crumbs). Best of all, it’s a neighborhood place.
