'Cesca

$$, Italian, Upper West Side

User Rating: **** 4.2

Fodor's Review:

This rambling but highly stylish space showcases chef Kevin Garcia's foray into southern Italian cuisine, with comforting-yet-sophisticated flavors. Start with spicy, gooey Parmesan fritters, then tuck into braised duck ravioli with balsamic-brown butter and sage. Follow with a hefty grilled pork chop with smoked bacon and crisp broccoli rabe. Finish with cannoli piped full of ricotta and mascarpone, and topped with chocolate sauce and a scattering of pistachios.

Food delightful, interesting menu, lovely decor. Reservations a must and as soon as possible as this place fills up. Eaten their twice before theatre and will go back again as we stay on the upper west side so it is very convenient as well as good!
