Crispo, New York City
January 23, 2012Frank Crispo serves imaginative delicious Italian-Mediterranean fare in his 
eponymous trattoria in the West Village. Go early, as the dark and cozy room fills up quickly.
We ordered a bottle of the rich, smooth and full bodied Super Tuscan 09 ($45) Argiano “NC” Toscana as we perused the reasonably priced menu.
The roasted beet salad is 
plentiful and comes topped with a warm goat cheese fritter ($8.95). Although the menu described the caramelized brussels sprouts accompanied by toasted almonds and maple, instead the almonds were just slivered and the sweetness was from honey. Whatever, the sprout
s were mouth-wateringly delicious($8.95), and shouldn’t be missed.
That super Tuscan blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, and sangiovese also stood up to the rich lamb Bolognese over fettuccine, topped with parmiagiano ($20.50) and the tender orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausage ($19.95).
A worthy trip that won’t break the bank.
