Hyacinth

The narrow dining room at Hyacinth feels like you’re spending dinner aboard a luxury passenger train with delicious pasta. Start the evening off by sharing the flatbread with the jiggly burrata add-on or fried olives stuffed with sharp provolone. If it’s available, order the bucatini cacio e pepe for textbook al dente noodles tossed with exactly the right amount of cheese and pepper—it’s so good you’ll throw a death glare at anyone asking for a bite, even your soulmate. An amaro flight makes for an excellent dessert, so sip on a couple of the Italian liqueurs before starting the journey home.
