Danny Meyer's Roman-inspired trattoria Maialino in the Gramercy Park Hotel is full of pleasant surprises, like a delightful breakfast menu featuring house-made pastries, ricotta pancakes and innovative egg dishes (baked eggs Amatriciana or fried egg with tripe and arugula). Chef Nick Anderer's (previously of Babbo, Gramercy Tavern) dinner menu features pastas such as spaghetti carbonara and fettuccine Bolognese with suckling pig. A impressive variety of cured meats and cheeses from near and far make for ideal grazing. From the restaurant's website:
"Maialino is a new Roman-style trattoria in Gramercy Park from Danny Meyer's. ... Serving lovingly prepared Roman-style cooking from Executive Chef Nick Anderer ..."
"The bar area is fitted with a jumble of rusticated wooden tables and a menu filled with inviting finger foods like lardo-topped bruschetta, and a pizza 'bianca' dusted with smoked pancetta. There is a bread station in the middle of the room, along with a salumi station where ribbons of 'salame Toscana' are cut with loving care."
