On April 28th, I went to the opening of Spritz in Times Square where pizzas, burgers, and burrata was served with various cocktails including variations of the Aperol spritz. The chic and playful space — featuring DJs and live performers — encourages social gathering, while the food emphasizes shared plate style Italian dining. Neopolitan-style thin crust Pizzas, including a classic Margherita, Rosso (Vegan with San Marzano tomatoes, Calabrian chili garlic confit) and Fungi (wild mushrooms, mozzarella, and fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano), are prepared in a wood burning oven from Naples. Homemade pastas include Spaghetti & Waygu Meatballs and Handmade Gnocchi. Classic Mediterranean appetizers include House Marinated Olives, Fritto Misto (calamari, shrimp, zucchini, citrus aioli & spicy marinara), Caprese Salad, Crispy Artichoke (fresh thyme, citrus aioli) and Spanish Charred Octopus (roasted cauliflower & salsa Verde). A second wood-burning oven is used solely for the preparation of wood-fired Angus Skirt Steak, Salmon and Whole Branzino.
