Don't confuse this East Village newcomer with the infamous Jason Neroni–helmed Brooklyn restaurant of the same name that bombed last year following larceny charges and a mother lode of blog posts. This one's helmed by I Coppi's Sara Jenkins, and the grub should keep the food cops happy: slow-roasted pork served with both the fatty and crispy bits all meshed together.

The shoebox-size joint—six seats inside, a bench outside—is decked out in tile, marble and a wooden counter. Laughs co-owner Dave Herman, "We were hoping to evoke a butcher-shop aesthetic without beating you over the head with it."
