Zagat Ratings & Review
The “swine is divine” and the price is fine at Sara Jenkins’ “stellar” new East Village Italian that “focuses on one thing”: “sinfully good” herb-roasted pork offered either as a sandwich or on a platter alongside beans and veggies; unless you can nab one of the six stools in the “cubicle”-size space, “plan on takeout.”

Food: 24 (very good to excellent)

Decor: 09 (poor to fair)

Service: 16 (good to very good)

Cost: $16 (surveyors' estimate of the price of dinner with one drink and tip)

  “ There were about four diners waiting for their orders when we arrived. The counterperson did not introduce herself or review the menu with us. She was, essentially, an order taker. Our orders were delivered correctly, in about 15 minutes. Some of my pork was dry. The moister pieces were subtly flavorful and nicely laced with distinctive herbs. The ample portion of greens was tasty. The beans were not memorable. The crispy potatoes were delicious, balancing a crunchy exterior with a moist and flavorful interior. My dinner was enjoyable and affordable, but not exceptional. The venue may be resting on its laurels. I was pleased to welcome Stefan and Alex's assistant to their first Meetups with the group. ”
