Maretta

Maretta is a such a gem! Gorgeous bar, sleek minimalist, chic yet inviting. The staff is warm and attentive. Such a cool vibe. Drinks are superb. Wine list is very well done. The warm bread fresh from the oven with real olive oil was my first clue this was going to be a superb meal. Do not miss the mussels dish they were the best I've had in a long time! The steak is fantastic and honestly a bargain, with delicious fries and sauce. The pasta has never disappointed, pappardelle was a banger. Such a great addition to the neighborhood! Thank you Nico, Andy and Luigi!

I wanted to gatekeep Maretta but I won't! Went for dinner on a Saturday night and Nico (the owner) found us a table right away. We started off with classic dirty martinis, which were so delicious we ordered more. For apps, we got the melon prosciutto, the prawns, and the lardo milk bread. All were delicious but the standout was the lardo. Order it; it's worth the calories. For entrees, we got the bronzino, the oxtail ragu, and the pizza bianca. I'm not usually a fan of pizza but this one was so fresh! The bronzino though was the favorite: buttery, flaky, and melts in your mouth and the skin was charred to perfection. We finished off our meal with the creme brulee, which came with sugar cookies that were so good they could have been a dessert on their own. We ended the meal with some amaro local to our server's hometown in Italy, which warmed us up enough to go back outside in the freezing cold. Great experience overall, very reasonably priced, and friendly people all around!

One of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at in nyc. The lowkey clean film-artsy aesthetic lent to the experience. The food was perfectly salted and seasoned. Steak melted in my mouth and the service was friendly and prompt.
