"Belotti's spaghetti pomodoro ($19.95) is on this list of cherished classics I continuously return to. There is the obvious argument for making a dish like this at home, of course, and there's the even more compelling idea that one should branch out at Belotti and certainly order their hen-of-the-woods pappardelle, or perhaps the bigoli in duck sugo. But the pull of a perfectly-balanced, cheery plate of warm spaghettoni - which are slightly thicker than your average spaghetti noodles - is often too irresistible to change course."
"Martha Stewart says San Marzano tomatoes are the Ferrari of canned tomato varieties, and I agree. Belotti imports them directly from Italy for the pomodoro sauce. They're alive with that bold, tomatoey flavor reminiscent of high summer, and they help deliver a punch of brightness to the plate. The thickness of the noodles yields an unbelievably satisfying chew, and the burrata provides the perfect layer of smooth, sweet creaminess to balance out the tomatoes' brightness and acidity."
