This neighborhood needs
another Italian restaurant like a Port Authority bathroom needs another
strange smell. We're not claiming this is the latest in a long line
of mediocre pasta joints on the UES, just the latest we've been to--and
that's why it's going to incur our wrath. The space itself is nice
for one of your typical $8.95-$14.95 an entree Italian joints that
litter this area, but who comes to one of these places for the atmosphere?
(Okay, we understand that there are still those 22 year-old single
guys out there that don't want to splurge on a first date with a person
that may turn out to be Miss Waywrong.) What comes to mind when we
think of Zucchero e Pomodori (besides an insanely impossible to remember
name)? Answer: nothing. I seem to remember an uninspired plate of
pasta that was supposed to contain chicken, but had very little. It
was supposed to have taste, but had very little. There was supposed
to be heat applied to the meal, but they somehow left that out as
well. So let's sum this up: the food was lacking ingredients, taste
and warmth. Sounds great, doesn't it? Maybe this is fine for some,
but not for someone with a sophisticated palate like Mr. Hipster!
