Via Carota

New York, US

An enormous dresser groaning with china and vintage chapel chairs are just a few of the details that make this West Village Italian restaurant appear to have been plucked fully formed from the hills near Tuscany. Here, amid the bustle of New York's West Village, it's easy to disappear into chefs Jody Williams and Rita Sodi’s world of impeccably constructed, deeply appealing Italian classics. Aperitif hour begins with sophisticated variations on negronis and classic spritzes; fresh bread is served with peppery oil from chef Sodi’s own olive groves in Barberino di Mugello in Florence; and the fried rabbit is fragrant with rosemary and garlic and green beans tossed through punchy pesto. A beloved neighbourhood osteria, Via Carota is also a hotspot for celebrities, with rumors of clientele including Jennifer Lawrence, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Taylor Swift.
