Profile

Vegetarians beware: The name is Italian for "butcher shop," and the space used to be a meat locker. But there's much more to chef Carlos Simoes' menu than his dry-aged porterhouse for two. Whole peppercorns enliven Gorgonzola salad dressing. Zesty fennel sausages adorn a cannelini-bean stew. Delectable pastas are served with hearty ragus, perfect for fall.

Brunch

Sat.—Sun., 11:30 a.m.—2 p.m.

Recommended Dishes

Iceberg wedge with gorgonzola dressing, $9; garganelli with oxtail ragu, $16; prime dry-aged porterhouse for two, $83

Worst Brunch of My Life

Incredibly bad - I was looking around for "Hell's Kitchen Nightmares" hidden cameras! The place LOOKS nice but EVERY step of the dining process was COMPLETELY BOTCHED. We had to request a menu. Then we had to flag a waiter to place our order. Our drinks were never brought until we requested them, 30 minutes after entry. Our water was filled once, and never again. The food was a mess. The orders were filled wrong - the burger was missing prosciutto, and bacon, and was served on a 1-inch diner roll, not a full size bun, and burnt to acrisp, when requested as medium. How hard is it to make a burger. This is NY, not Cincinnati. A woman sent her food back because it was cold. People were walking in and then walking out after 15 minutes of not being served. I can't believe they can afford the meat-packing district. A great laugh for posterity, a terrible meal for a beautiful Saturday. NEVER EVER EAT HERE.

Nice, I guess....

Saturday evening dinner w/ family. Great place for street watching all the way up the block, lots of activity outside. Nice atmosphere,but as the evening went on, the overcrowding became obtrusive. We never saw our waiter, someone else dropped off our food, which was delicious,by the way .No one came to see if we needed anything, like wine w/ dinner, cheese for the pasta, etc. Overall, though food was great. Pappardelle w/ wild boar ragu was deliciousbut cold by the time I got cheese. Trout serving was huge and delicious, as was chicken parmigiana.
