Pisticci

Some items here are delicious, some are entirely mediocre.

The mussels with white wine sauce (appetizer) are freaking amazing.

The maltagliati with lamb and ricotta is RIDICULOUS. As in, the eggs benedict of pastas. I only want to eat this dish every time I come or order out from here.

I had the polenta and meatballs. Meh. Nothing special. I didn't like the polenta.

The vegetable ceci was not very good.

Eggplant appetizer was only ok.

The mushroom fettuccine with truffle oil was also only ok. I wanted to like it more, but it wasn't fabulous.

For Morningside Heights, this place is good. And it's cute inside. But it's just so so overall.
