"Not only is SPQR a solid option for an affordable Italian prix fixe, but it’s also one of the city’s rare restaurants open on Monday nights. Chef Matt Accarrino has an undeniable talent rolling out fresh pasta — including mint mafaldine in braised lamb sugo and buckwheat fusilli — but the four-course menu at SPQR also delivers heavy-hitting secondi such as bacon-wrapped pork and salmon over farro verde. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, there’s a five-course pasta tasting menu for $59." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
