Il Corallo Trattoria

If you are looking for a cozy authentic Italian restaurant and you are in the Soho area (176 Prince St, near Thompson St), look no further than Il Corallo Trattoria. I was taken here a couple weeks ago and I have been craving their hand made pasta ever since.

Here's a look at the dishes we got:

Gotta start off with delicious fresh bread

A little olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping

Looks like a good salad
I really want to have soup now.

Rigatoni Padani - pasta tubes in a tomato cream sauce w/ parmigiano, fresh smoked mozzarella and pecorina cheese. I am recalling what it tasted like. It truly was heaven. The pasta was perfect - al dente of course!

Tortellini Parmigiano - cheese filled pasta with fresh green peas and prosciutto in a light cream sauce with parmagiano cheese. No peas are in this one b/c a certain someone just doesn't eat it. I won't name names.

Fusilli Boscaiola - a spiral pasta with mushrooms and fresh green peas in a light cream of tomato sauce. Peas are present.

It's nice to end with a cappuccino

I don't know if I have convinced anyone to try this place, but I think I just re-convinced myself that I need to go back. =)
