Mamo in TriBeCa, NY
Four years have passed since we went to Mamo, a restaurant located in TriBeCa, where I still remember some of the dishes we had, especially the deep fried burrata with truffle or the spaghetti all vongole, one of my favorite Italian dishes. So it was time to go back, but this time for brunch.

This is a great place with a beautiful decor full of old movie posters that transport you to the past. But, definitely, their menu is not from the past and offers lots of options, from classic brunch like French toast or pancakes, as well as Italian dishes like pizza or pasta. For sure, the French toast is a must have: eggy, slightly crispy, it was served with a delicious banana caramel that was original. Yes, you read well: a banana caramel; I admit that when I read the menu, I thought it was topped with banana and caramel, and when the dish arrived, I was wondering if they were out of banana and instead put strawberries!

Another dish that is a must have is their ricotta toast: it is an elevated version of the fusion of a ricotta toast and an avocado toast with truffle shaving on top. And a lot of truffle! What was nice is that the bread was not too hard to cut (don’t you hate when the crust of the bread is too hard to cut, messing the entire toast?), and there was a nice balance between the amount of ricotta and the amount of avocado.

The last dish we tried was one of their pasta dishes: the maccheroni cacio e pepe. Homemade, perfectly cooked, it has the right amount of cheese and pepper.

Of course, you can accompany your meal with whatever drink they have (they have a full bar, but I decided to simply have a macchiato while Jodi got a tea.

This was a great brunch: Mamo is a great spot to know and going back there for brunch after all these years makes me want to revisit them for dinner.
Enjoy (I did)!
