The restaurant is far too busy with crowds and noise on weekday nights, even Monday, and don't bother with the weekends. But catch the Otto on a whim, a random afternoon, ... Read More | | | | | | Otto (pronounced “Oh–Toe”) is the most casual of the Mario Batali–Joseph Bastianich series of restaurants. There is a large bar area (the Enoteca) that serves wine and bar food, and a dining area with table seating.The name of the website (ottopizzeria.com) indicates the restaurant’s theme. The men...
