Barbone Restaurant, East Village, NYC.... Delicious Italian food
Just got home from a restaurant in the East Village - Barbone. Delicious homestyle Italian (more northern, I think). And it was 5 courses for $30 tonight (usually $42). They were small, so I feel pleasantly full and not stuffed.
Also: I tried a new wine grape! I'd never heard of it: pecorino. I always thought it was just a cheese. It makes a delightful, light, crisp yet fruity white wine. Went really well with the pasta and cream sauces.
I am now having a gewurztraminer...it's rather too sweet, but it's the only white wine I have in stock at the moment that isn't fizzy...and it's described as a "Dry" wine, too, on the label.
