Misipasta

[From the May 2, 2024 newsletter]

Before [Craig’s family] got here, I went with my friend Daniel to MisiPasta in Williamsburg.

We ate many delicious things that night, but the highlights for me were: this cocktail which was like a Manhattan made with rhubarb liqueur. (Love rhubarb in the spring.)

And the sausage sandwich — Cotechino — was out-of-this-world delicious. I can’t find the menu online, so not 100% sure what was in it, but the bread was warm and crispy and the sausage was packed with flavor. If you get nothing else at Misi Pasta, get this. (They should call it MisiSausageSandwich.)

As for the pasta, we shared mezzaluna pasta stuffed with ricotta and pistachios and a spaghetti with bottarga and garlic breadcrumbs.

Missy Robbins, who owns Misi, is a genius when it comes to pasta. If I lived near here, I’d weigh 800 pounds and be a very happy person indeed.
