Resembling a small, Roman dining room, Quinto Quarto inconspicuously sits on tree-lined Bedford street. During our 20-minute wait, the cheery Italian host brought us small tumblers of red wine before seating us in our nicely candlelit, corner table.
Carciofi con Guanciale (Sauteed artichokes with pork cheek)
Spaghetti cacio e pepe (Spaghetti with cracked pepper and pecorino)
Salsiccia vino Bianco (Roman Sausages cooked in white wine with roasted potatoes and green beans and tomato sauce)
This is a simple menu and there are no complicated dishes coming from the kitchen; but it is good to know that you can make these exact dishes at home. Quinto Quarto chefs don't quite stack up against any NYC American-Italian chefs, but it's a nice neighborhood spot for the right price. 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and a bottle of wine for $60
14 Bedford Street b/t 6th & 7th Avenues
