the jetsetter: New York, New York

By tablehopper   Jul 17, 2007

Since it had been at least a couple years (two years too long) since I’d been in New York, my list of places to hit had become, shall we say, major? With ten days and far too many restaurants to visit, I had to come up with some hard and fast tablehopping rules with my dining musketeers: one dish, one drink per person, per place. So when I was traveling with my wonder duo, we were able to sample three plates total per place. When I was out with just one wingwoman, we’d sample two plates (well, sometimes more, heh). Not a definitive way to judge a restaurant by any means, but it was the easiest way to tablehop around town, check a bunch of... FULL REVIEW

Otto, Ginger and Spice, El Castillo de Jagua and Fancy Food Show aftermath

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Jul 15, 2007

I'd happily eat any kind of gelato, whether good or bad. At least, if given the choice between mediocre ice cream and mediocre gelato, I'd pick the gelato. I suppose the best decision would be to choose neither and save... FULL REVIEW

Otto Revisted and Too Much Arugula

By Clean Plate Club   Apr 01, 2007

Last time I dined at Otto, I ordered the Pane Frattau, a simple sounding pizza topped with tomato, pecorino and egg. I assumed that “egg” meant scattered bits of scramble evenly distributed around the pie. But when Batali says “egg,” he means balls-out “EGG,” which is how I ended up with an entire Goddamned fried [...] FULL REVIEW

Café J'Adore & Otto

By The Wandering Eater   Feb 01, 2007

Otto is one of Mario Batali's owned establishments. The atmosphere evokes a casual Italian wine bar and pizzeria. It's moderate in price but it's a lot more than what you would normally pay for in a small pizza. If you eat here, you must try their olive oil gelato. It's a life altering experience. FULL REVIEW

Otto Pizzeria e Enoteca

By Pabulum   Sep 24, 2006

When a group of my friends and I just want a laid-back night with good food but can’t afford the other Batali establishments, we end up at Otto where we can eat thin-crust pizzas cooked on a flat-iron griddle. My favorite is the funghi and Taleggio pizza with earthy mushrooms and fragrant Taleggio cheese. The fennel with bottarga (Italian caviar) showered with mozarella and pecorino pizza is also delicious. For those who want something more familiar, the classic marinara and pepperoni pizzas are also available as well as smaller pasta dishes like penne, spaghetti and linguine. We spend most of our money in antipasti like prosciutto, octopus, tomato and mozarella salad and the anchovies. FULL REVIEW

Makeda, Mitsuwa, and Otto

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   Aug 09, 2006

On Monday I met up with chocolate making extraordinaire Deb at Ethiopian restaurant Makeda for lunch with my mum in tow. I've never brought my mum to a "meet another food blogger" meal before, but she likes food. ...And I suck at driving to places I'm not familiar with (probably not that good at driving to places I am familiar with), which was the main reason I needed her to come along. Besides that I love her so very much! FULL REVIEW

Otto, Tavalon, Sandwich Shoppe, Once Upon a Tart, Bo Ky, and ice cream

By The Girl Who Ate Everything   May 07, 2006

Sarah, along with a million other people, just couldn't stop talking about Otto's olive oil gelato. Although I've been interested in trying it for a long time (hey, I love olive oil and I love gelato!), I...um, hadn't. Until Friday night. FULL REVIEW

Otto's......and the acclaimed Olive Oil Gelato

By Dining Desperado   Apr 17, 2006

So I finally found an excuse to make it to Otto's. My family called and said "Hey we are coming" I said "Hot dog, then....I just might make a reservation...and by might I mean Otto's Sunday at 7:45 pm" So on Sunday I found myself in the perfect mood for a hearty meal (to be capped off with gelato of course). We started with a caprese salad (which was perhaps the best tomato/mozz. FULL REVIEW

A Dish Worth The Trip : OTTO

It’s no secret that I am fan of the Mario Batali empire, and just north of Washington Square in the heart of the NYU neighborhood is one of his most interesting and glorious creations, Otto. FULL REVIEW

Terminal Condition New York Entry #66

By Veal Cheeks   Feb 05, 2006

Does anyone eat at Otto twice? A friend and I visited Molto Mario Batali's pizzeria/enoteca last Friday night ans asked this question. Otto fashions itself an Italian train station, loud and crowded. Diners are called to table on an arrival board. By the time our entree arrived, I was ready to embark. All that was lacking was fumes. FULL REVIEW

Scoops - New York City Entry #4

By Veal Cheeks   Sep 11, 2005

Central to my culinary consciousness are the lazy summer evenings that I spent in Somerville, Massachusetts, patiently waiting for my turn at the counter of Steve’s Ice Cream. This was the moment at which Alice Waters was refining fine dining in Berkeley, but considering the intense flavors, custom mix-ins, and the perfectly sinful, erotic richness, Cantabrigians had the better of it. Steve Herrell reconstructed frozen desserts, changing custard forever. FULL REVIEW

Otto - Not Just For Pizza Anymore

Almost hate to share this info for fear that there will be a stampede over to Mario Batali's Otto. (Sidbar: Notice the funfilled buffalo-theme that's emerging between yesterday and today's postings?) Well, now that I've started to share, guess I've gotta go all the way: FULL REVIEW

Otto - No Class

By VittlesVamp   Nov 18, 2003

Let me preface this posting, by saying upfront that I really like Otto. I've dined there several times and although I'm not incredibly fond of the pizzas, I am completely in love with the fabulous wine list, the cheese selections accompanied by truffled honey and rum-soaked cherries, as well as the magnificent selection of homemade gelatos.

Otto Enoteca Pizzeria

By Walker New York Eats   May 14, 2003

Todd and I went to Otto last night. Tuesday, 6:30, and we didn't have to wait, although when we were leaving we noticed quite a few people waiting. Fortunately, it has a big, nice waiting area with tall tables where you can stand and sip your drink (maybe even order a snack?). FULL REVIEW
