Danny Meyer’s take on a Roman trattoria is super polished and highly delicious. In the morning, sip an espresso at the long, handsome walnut bar, then switch to a Campari in the afternoon, a boozy cocktail at night. The name Maialino means “Little Pig,” and it wouldn’t be such a bad thing to stay all day devouring variations on the theme of pork. For breakfast: chicken and pork sausage on a house-made English muffin with melted provolone and a fried egg. For dinner: malfatti pasta tossed with braised suckling pig and arugula.
