"If you feel you are your truest self when eating a bowl of pasta, you’ll want to eat several of them at Misi. This is the pasta-focused place from the people behind Lilia, located in the bottom of 325 Kent, aka the giant apartment building that also might be a Transformer. Much of the seating in the modern-looking space is at a bar overlooking the kitchen, so you can watch as your spaghetti gets tossed with fennel pesto or your tortelli get dunked into a hot pool of brown butter. Misi feels more casual than Lilia—but this is still probably not a place you’ll go to on a random Tuesday night. Mostly because you aren’t going to get in." - willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang, will hartman
