    Not enough people are talking about @baroloeast - a true hidden gem, incredible Italian spot in Midtown East!! This Italian restaurant focuses on northern Italian cuisine and is making homemade pasta and offering specials everyday. It’s a great spot for a date night or group dinner plus they have a huge garden space that is perfect for a private party. I loved everything I tried and highly recommend these bites 🍽️ 🐙Fried calamari 🧀Burrata with prosciutto (special) 🍝Fettucine bolognese 🍗Chicken parm - this was HUGEEEE and so good

    My partner and I had a memorable meal at Barolo East last week. We were greeted at the door by the Matre'd, show showed us to our table. Unfortunately I did not get his name. I believe he was originally from Kosovo, and we had a number of interesting conversations thru the evening. Our server was Gustavo, who provided excellent and attentive service through the entire meal. We always begin with a bottle of sparkling water, which was accompanied by bread, olive oil and balsamic, and a tasty dip. My partner had a glass of Cortese, while I had the Pinot Noir - both from Piemonte vineyards. Very pleasant wines. We shared the Calamari Fritti to start, which was perfectly prepared - tender and just enough crispy coating. For salads, I ordered the Arugula E Parmigiano (Baby Arugula, Cherry Tomatoes, Black Olives, Parmigiano, Fig Vinaigrette); while my partner had Insalata Di Avocado (Mesclun, Avocado, Parmigiano Reggiano Shavings). Both were wonderful. For mains, my partner ordered the Orecchiette Con Cime Di Rapa e Gamberi (Orecchiette Pasta, Broccoli Rabe, Garlic, Shrimp & White Wine) while I had Penne Zucchini e Pecorino ( Penne Pasta, Zucchini, Garlic, Pecorino Cheese, Olive Oil & Garlic) - a simple preparation, but so tasty. We opted not to have dessert (dinner was filling). Gustavo offered us complementary Limoncello - who could refuse. In summary, the attentive service and exquisite food made for a memorable evening.
