The plates that decide it
- Rigatoni all'amatriciana — Evan Funke's intensely porky guanciale-and-pecorino signature; the dish to order
- A pasta from the glass-walled laboratorio — whatever's hand-rolled that day — the kitchen's whole identity
- Antipasti to start — reliable lead-in to the pasta
- Filling up on bread and sides — save room — the pastas are why you're here
Plan it well
- Cost
- Upper-moderate to high
- Allow
- 1.5–2 hours
