Prolific restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow channels Sunday suppers past to create prix fixe menuless feasts of antipasti, pasta, and hearty main courses like whole duck stuffed with pork, veal, rice, and duck eggs. The housemade mozzarella is prepared tableside on a rolling trolley, and briefly cooked in a skillet with olive oil, cremini mushrooms, and tomatoes. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Over salted veg, undercooked meat and chicken, the best thing was the fresh made at you table mozzarella. that was great. maybe it was a bad night for them, it certianly was for us.

Interesting concept but pricey

The concept is an interesting one. No menu, 2 or 3 courses (appetizers,pasta, meat/fish; everyone at your table must agree on this), food delivered fairly continuously family style. The food was excellent with interesting appetizers and pastas. The meat course was also very good. The problem is that it is very expensive--$39 each before wine. If you go, don't miss the mozzarella prepared tableside.
