We were groaning with pleasure in our chairs as we polished off the last of the bombolini, but (thankfully) no one seemed to notice. Scott and Heather were too busy popping bottles of champagne, and toasting to their 2-star review to mind us. We realized it was time to go and reluctantly made our way out of the restaurant, congratulating Scott and Heather and their families as we walked out onto the dark sidewalk and hailed a cab to go downtown—home.

There was magic in the restaurant that night. The food was just wonderful—magnificent at times—and even in the places it was slightly off, it still managed to leave us happy because the food at Spigolo is so much the product of heart. When you dine at restaurants like Spigolo—places like The Tasting Room, Five Points, Fleur de Sel, Falai, Little Giant, Lassi, and many more truly chef-owned and operated restaurants around the city—you experience so much more than just a meal. You get filled with the joy, the passion, the care, the time, and the love that goes into your food. Roll your eyes at me if you must—you won’t be the first—but I think you do. There is magic in these places. And if you don’t believe me, have the chicken.

Spigolo is located at 1561 2nd Avenue (corner of 81st St), 212-744-1100.
