Otto is one of fourteen different restaurants Mario Batali owns. Although the word 'Pizzeria' is part of the name it's so much more than that. As a matter-a-fact I didn't even have pizza. I opted for a different experience, which the menu is crafted to deliver. I wanted great salumi, cheeses and pasta. This is not some over-the-top restaurant, it's very casual, catering to your 'eating mood', no real hard & fast rules. The focus in the kitchen is all about using the best ingredients and not standing in the way of those ingredients; straight forward, unadulterated beauty.
