So I've been showing apartments non-stop for the past few days...long story short, I haven't previewed (and I think it's rude to snap photos with my clients present...just a personal thing). I did, however, try Carlos Suarez's Rosemary's On Greenwich. Rosemary's is a great space that has a rustic elegance and an open, breezy feel. The food? Good. We had the tuna and shrimp frutti di mare to start...the former being the bigger hit at the table. For a midcourse we tried the orecchiette which was wonderful...heartier than most pastas around with great spices, sausage. For dinner, two of us had the skirt steak and the other had a pasta special with herbs, tomatos and corn from the garden upstairs. The steak was fine, nothing to brag about and the portions were small. Our potatos were cold, so they brought us a new plate that was hot and wonderful. The pasta was wonderful...citrusy and fesh tasting, nothing too heavy, but still somehow hearty. We had tiramisu, an apple/mint ice with almond creme and olive oil cake for dessert. The latter two were wonderful. It's young (open for two weeks), so we'll go back when they work out the kinks, but overall it was, well, good.
Where? 18 greenwich Avenue (at 10th)
What? Italian. See above for, well, what we had. Try the pastas and the desserts!
When? No reservations and it's new, so get there earlyish. I got there at 6:30 and it was empty...chock full by 8:30.
