"Ideally, taking yourself out for dinner should require minimal effort, which means not spending precious mental energy choosing between 15 different shapes of noodles. Alimento’s short and sweet list of housemade pasta is exactly what you need in that case—their saucy radiatori with braised pork sugo is an easy go-to for nights when you just want to zone over some warm carbs. This low-key neighborhood spot also gets pretty dark once the sun sets, meaning you can easily blend into the background at one of the corner tables or sit at the kitchen-facing bar for some added anonymity." - jess basser sanders, nikko duren, sylvio martins
