Bib Gourmand : nos meilleurs rapports qualité-prix ≤ 34 € (38 € à Paris)
Un moment de gourmandise à moins de 34€ (38€ à Paris): de bons produits bien mis en valeur, une addition mesurée, une cuisine d’un excellent rapport qualité-prix.
Chef Raffaele Ronca oversees this inviting operation that fits in perfectly among its posh neighbors on Rye's Purchase Street. Step inside to be greeted by a long, marble bar—ideal for dining or good, old-fashioned drinking. Behind, is an open kitchen with a commanding oven. Snacks and small plates, such as a spuntino of caponata with focaccia, are welcome starters. Layers of silky eggplant tucked with fior di latte mozzarella make melanzana a natural choice, and pastas are a worthy option, as in the spaghetti vongole with its garlicky and briny tangle of goodness. To finish, an affogato with a scoop of excellent vanilla ice cream set at the base of a espresso lungo topped with crumbled house-made biscotti is a classic.
