Restaurant: Crispo
Location: 240 West 14th St. (New York)
Type of restaurant: Northern Italian
They stipulated: You're not getting a seat until your entire party is there, no matter how many empty tables the restaurant has. Plus, Crispo is deceiving: It looks like a tiny hole-in-the-wall, but a pathway in the back leads to a large, brighter dining room.
We stipulated: A bunch of us decided at the last minute to get together for dinner. Not an easy task, finding a table on a Sunday night so late, but Crispo was there for us.
What we ordered: For starters, the calamari, risotto balls and Mozzarella Fritta. For main course, I got the red snapper special (above). Among other table mates, Joe got spaghetti and meatballs (below).
Overall impression: Solid, solid Italian food, and not a bad place to end up on short notice on a Sunday night.
