NYC Italian Eats: Trattorias

Peasant

Nolita's version of neighborhood casual gets glammed up by way of the Elizabeth Street address—it's a fashionable crowd, some of whom aren't even there for the highly lauded food. But the simple, savory classics, fire-kissed by the raging wood oven, draw off-duty chefs and smart foodies to the dimly lit, sparsely decorated room. You might get to sample the creamiest burrata in existence, or a perfectly charred bistecca Fiorentina.
