Eating at Bar Pitti. Overrated and Overpriced NYC Celebrity Hotspot or Classic Italian Restaurant?
I eat at and review Bar Pitti in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. Bar Pitti is an Italian restaurant that has been around for decades and remains an extremely popular spot for celebrities. David and Victoria Beckham, Leonardo DiCaprio, Beyoncé and Jay-Z among many other celebrities have dined at Bar Pitti. I went to see if the restaurant lives up to the hype and I thought it did not.

    I’m not going to scroll through the entirety of the comments but I didn’t see this mentioned in the first 50ish so… mutton is not “aged lamb” unless you want to get disingenuously pedantic. Mutton is the meat of a sheep. Lamb is a very young sheep. Mutton is to lamb what veal is to beef. Also I’m envious because I’ve wanted to try theirs for a long time. Glad you enjoyed it and well done finishing it!

    Well I remember da Silvano from years past; I've had great meals there and horrible ones. No need for commentary, that pappardelle dish obviously was not going to be good, too much too gooey sauce, etc., and I've had grilled chicken often in Italy. It needs a lot of lemon, it will never be juicy, and the addition of salad greens is an unfortunate trend I've seen where a beautifully costoletta Milanese is served on a bed of greens. Thank you for tearing your bread before eating it. You pronounced many of the Italian names well but why do you say "Pity?" It should be pit-tee, even the most indulgent Italians I have known objected instantly if I did not respect double consonants.

Also, I have a phobia of rats and roaches, so for a restaurant to get a B rating in NYC... Can't believe no one else in the comments referred to it as Bar Pitti-ful.
