Soprattutto doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, in fact for me it is more like my mouth slows way down so I can sound out the word itself and not sound like an idiot all the while sounding like an idiot. Directly translated in Italian it means “above all others”, well at least that is what the Chef/ Owner Michele told me, and truth be told I was suspicious of such a claim. Stuck in a rather in-descript strip mall on Fulton you don’t exactly pull up expecting great things. Nope. But I was meeting some folks for dinner here to help plan an upcoming Slow Food event and one of my fellow diners insisted that it is quite a gem and thus has been a regular since their August opening. When you walk in there is a cured meat and cheese counter, with traditional Italian desserts and cakes snuggled up to them. A striking copper espresso machine sits in the corner probably just for looks as the super auto sits right next to it. There isn’t much room but there is an authentic feel. I inquired if this is indeed where our group of seven would be having dinner, and the server informed me that we would be dining in their small dining room in the back of restaurant. The dining room has this feel of a secret space that only a select few know about and you might possibly need a secret handshake to gain entry, overall it has this dark old world decor, yet charming. The wine list is extremely inexpensive with the most expensive wine by the glass being a mere four dollars. All of the selections are of course Italian which I felt was more then appropriate in such a setting. I ordered a glass of the di Gino Verddichio (3.00 glass) and although it had a slightly oxidized color the wine tasted fresh and light.
