(between Broadway and
Eighth Avenue)
After watching a weekday evening performance of the smash
Broadway play Hamilton (which
absolutely lived up to its hype!), we were in search of a nearby restaurant
whose kitchen was still open.
Around the corner from the play, we came upon a very cute,
low-key Italian restaurant—Trattoria Trecolori.
Feeling starved and seeing that they offered homemade black
squid ink pasta, it was really a no-brainer. We both ordered the Linguine Nere
alla Monsignore. It came with shrimp, scallops, squid, clams, and mussels in a
marinara sauce. Delicious and definitely tasted homemade!
We started off with an order of the Caprese (fresh tomato,
mozzarella, and basil). Very light and refreshing. Perfect, as we wanted to
make room for our main course!
To accompany our meal, the server recommended their rosé—a
2014 Abadal: a light and refreshing option to pair with our heavy entrées. As
with Mercato, the restaurant only had one type of rosé on their wine list.
After a tasting, we decided to order a bottle.
For dessert, we ordered their homemade tiramisu. Another
no-brainer, as I always order the tiramisu if it’s on the menu. And like the
homemade pasta, their tiramisu tasted fresh and homemade.
To cap off the dinner and to accompany the dessert, I
ordered a glass of Frangelico—a kind of lighter version of brandy. I haven’t
had Frangelico in a loooong time, but decided to treat myself to one. I also
highly recommend adding it to your coffee (in lieu of milk and sugar) as an
after-dinner drink.
Wonderful way to end a memorable night at the theater!
Pros:
Relaxing atmosphere.
Friendly, excellent service.
Authentic homemade Italian pastas and desserts.
Cons:
More rosé options.
Final Thoughts
Will definitely return, especially after seeing a Broadway
play.
