"Tucking into this restaurant during a torrential downpour qualifies for another level of coziness that is entirely its own. Start with good wine and good conversation with strangers at the bar. Then move on to crudo ($21), the delicate jamón ibérico, and fresh mozzarella sandwich triangles known as bikini ($18). Finally, end with this simple and perfectly filling bowl of tender, pillowy gnocchi generously showered in shaved black truffle."
"It's a bright space with a simple menu where the staff constructs your dish in front of you, Chipotle-style. I got the Baja crispy fish burrito ($12.95) done up California-style, which meant tater tots (!!!), a nod to San Diego-style burritos, which typically come with fries. It's a heavy and packed burrito that made for a filling and satisfying dinner after a train ride home, though I could've done with more of the salsas or at least a side of them."
Il Buco offers a deeply cozy dining experience, especially during a torrential downpour, with bar conversation, crudo, jamón ibérico, bikini sandwiches, and a bowl of tender gnocchi topped with shaved black truffle. The gnocchi is pillowy and perfectly filling. A fast-casual Bajan-style Mexican spot assembles dishes Chipotle-style and serves a Baja crispy fish burrito California-style with tater tots, producing a heavy, packed, satisfying meal; fat churros provide a sweet finish. Pierogi Boys in Ridgewood serves meaty, comforting pierogies ideal for impromptu solo dinners. Each option emphasizes hearty flavors and generous portions.
