MOLTO – Italian
A trattoria on 5th Avenue South in Naples working from a single motto: simply my mom in the kitchen. Every pasta and sauce is made in house and it shows, from tagliolini with truffle and mushrooms to gnocchi alla sorrentina, tagliatelle bolognese, pappardelle with pesto and jumbo shrimp, and a tagliolini pescatora loaded with shrimp, mussels, clams and calamari. Burrata is the right way to start; pizza is on hand too. Diners describe a room that feels convincingly Italian and a kitchen still cooking a family matriarch's recipes. Naples has plenty of Italian. This one earns the name.
