Madonna & Lordes Dine at Antica Pesa
New York Post
Rossetti and Volanti are both chefs at this Billyburg restaurant, an American outpost of the same-named institution in Rome — a favorite of Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio and Quentin Tarantino that’s been open since 1922.

New York Observer
Even the pasta, which is hard to present in a way that gives proper credit to the effort needed to produce it, comes across well. The cacio e pepe, in which pecorino and Parmesan bind themselves to thick al dente strands of homemade spaghetti, is phenomenal.
