Mamo Restaurant NYC #NYCRW @MAMO_NYC

 

 

Italians role in life is to feed people. They can’t help it.  So you know how  happy we were to get the opportunity  to enjoy a fabulous lunch  at  Mamo ,  a bright, absolutely charming and city classic Italian restaurant   during NYC Restaurant Week.  The staff was so helpful in suggesting a glass of Barolo, perfect choice and we do recommend it too. A little bread and oil and a little wine while we check out the menu. Cheers!

 

For starters Merci chose the garanelli pasta with cherry tomatoes, shrimp and mussels. I ordered the cold sliced veal rounds with tuna sauce and caper oil topped with fresh greens. Dishes so different from each other but so delicious, you know we tasted each others dish because well that’s what friends since childhood do. Have to tell you that tuna sauce and caper oil was out of this world.

For the main course I went with the Chicken Breast “Milanese Style” and Merci got the Grilled Gilthead Seabream on mixed veggies. At this point there was not too much conversation going on, we were much too busy eating.

There was cheesecake on the dessert menu but we passed and got the Tiramisu and Affogato (ice cream with warm strawberries). Perfect day. Perfect lunch.

There are a few more days left of NYC Restaurant Week, but not to worry you should get to Mamo Restaurant whenever you can. Just remember to stay calm and eat Italian Food. You can thank us later.
