"Every once in a while you just want to eat a bowl of pasta and drink a glass of wine by yourself. That’s not being anti-social, it’s called being human. With a big countertop facing an open kitchen and some really well-made pasta, Sportello is a great spot to do just that. If you want to bring some friends or a date you can do that too, and its airy, cafeteria aesthetic works particularly well for lunch. If you’re not in the mood for pasta, you should still come here for a great bowl of tomato soup." - Dan Secatore
