Devouring Stuffed Artichokes on a Crawl Through Little Italy in NYC

Dozens of Italian restaurants pepper the cobblestone stretch of Mulberry Street between Broome and Canal known as Little Italy in New York. Tourists flock there to indulge in a cannoli or a big bowl of spaghetti and identify scenes from The Sopranos and The Godfather. Though if you peel back a layer, you will uncover the real heart of Little Italy—the stuffed artichoke. After feasting at every trattoria that sold jumbo stuffed artichokes, it was determined that Il Fornaio had mastered it. The sweet, meaty leaves are steamed to perfection. Roasted garlic, capers, and olives dance together in fluffy breading. Pulling off each leaf reveals a new blissful flavor. To savor every last delicious moment, dunk their homemade crusty bread into the broth.
