Pasta Bar at Ancora (CLOSED)

Tony Fantastico, chef-owner of the Italian restaurant Ancora, expands the venue with this small-plates bar decorated with celebrity photographs from paparazzo Ron Galella. Pastas like trenette with pesto, string beans and potato can be ordered individually or as part of a tasting trio, along with other bites such as fried mozzarella sandwiches and meat-and-cheese plates.
