Torrisi (Italian)

The space is small (total no more than 12 tables), does not accept reservation , open at 6pm for dinner (they do serve lunch w different menus, only pri fixe for dinner). I got there around 5:30 in a gloomy raining day and hoping for a short waiting line... good strategy... :)
It's not a traditional new york italian restaurant, more like a little trattoria in Florence. Food are authentic and simple, will definitely pay a regular visit there...

Here are the menu for 8/25/10.. (dinner menu change daily)
Antipasti
Warm Mozzarella, Da Vero, milk thisle cream
Cucumber new yorkese
   Pork fried rice (Bravo for this simple fried rice, mix of sweet corn,    zucchini, pork, egg and top with 2 thin slice of prosciutto)
  Calamari Marinara

Pasta
Frank's Linguine, with little necks clam and hint of tabasco sauce w bread crumb

Main
Skate Frances with white wine butter sauce
they have another BBQ lamb chop, looks good tho... but i am not a lamb eater...

Sweets
assorted home made pastries, not too impressive
