There are 100 dumpling varieties on the menu, but lamb and green squash should be your first order.
Head there for strufoli, deep fried balls of dough mixed with honey sold during the holidays, and fresher renditions of treats like pasticiolla.
Here you'll find an excellent butcher, in Peter's, the best Italian combo in the Bronx, at Greco's (nee Mike's), and the neighborhood's best slice shop, Café el Mercato.
This Bronx dairy O.G. makes a rare specialty cheese: burrino, aged mozzarella stuffed with butter.
Excellent buckwheat noodles, delicate and nuanced broths, and fresh custard-like tofu. Vegetarian and meaty broths are on hand; both are excellent.
