Cipriani

Cipriani

42nd Street may be one of the furthest places one would think of Italy, but, I tell you, a fifteen minute stop in Cipriani Speciatilia is a quick serve Italian refuge for those who need their fix. Overall, the gourmet offers a fantastic variety of pastas, sandwiches and salads, but for me, when I am craving for an Italian fix, I go for their brilliant Prosciutto Crudo and Mozzarella de buffalo sandwich. The combination of salty Prosciutto and fresh Mozzarella on a crusty baguette is perfect . Add some rich Extra Virgin Olive Oil and you have a masterpiece through simplicity. Even the wax paper take out bag gives one a feeling of thoughtful care. A great example of the when intangible subtleties and secondary flavors permeate each other to make the whole greater then the sum of its parts.
