"Major Food Group has opened this Nolita restaurant in the landmarked Puck Building: It’s a revival of the team’s first restaurant, Torrisi Italian Specialties, which closed in 2015, which had grown from a counter-service sandwich shop that started in 2009. This iteration earned three stars from the New York Times for its take on Italian American dishes like linguine with a pink clam sauce or chicken alla griglia, as well as tributes to New York restaurant favorites, like an octopus nha trang. It’s a great dining room for general people-watching. If tables aren’t available there are always the standing spots near the bar." - Nadia Chaudhury, Eater Staff
