Patrizi's
Included In
If you’ve ever tried to visit Butterfly Bar on Manor Road on a Friday or Saturday night, there’s a good chance you also saw a line snaking along the fence, waiting to place an order at an eclectically decorated semi-permanent trailer. That’s Patrizi’s, a highly popular Italian spot with a small menu of rustic Italian dishes and housemade pasta.
All of the pasta dishes here start with a fettuccine base—unless you request zucchini “noodles”—which means that the cacio e pepe or carbonara you order might look a bit wider and flatter than with its more common spaghetti counterpart. And it’s all made from scratch, which becomes apparent after a few bites of textured al dente noodles. If you’re really hungry, you can add a meatball to any order—they’re about the size of a baseball, but a lot tastier to eat. Everything on the menu is under $15, which means you can throw in a salad and a cheap bottle of wine from the bar and have a great casual date night without breaking the bank.
