New York Restaurant Report: Supper

logo_supperA hidden gem of a restaurant, in New York City, is the cozy East Village restaurant simply named, Supper. Located at 156 East Second St, this Northern Italian eatery, is the definition of a hidden gem; it cannot be missed! The moment one enters in this small, yet seemingly always bustling restaurant, one always feel at home. The exposed brick, stone, and dimly lit spot, whose wonderful aroma envelopes, the moment you step in the door, transports you straight to Florence. Simply Divine!

Supper’s menu has an array of menu selections, even for the most discerning of palates! My favorite dish is the Spaghetti al Limone with grilled chicken. This dish is complemented with fresh lemon and finished with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, absolutely, delectable! At $12.95, this dish is not only delicious, but it is by far, the best bang for your buck, in the extremely expensive New York City restaurant scene. An appetizer not to be missed is The Zucchine Taglietelle, which features wafer thin mandolin sliced zucchini; this dish explodes with garlic, toasted almonds and olive oil! I would love to give a review of their dessert offerings, but I must admit, I have never had the opportunity to partake, as I am always quite full, at meals end!!
