iām going back for the 4th time in a year tomorrow. it is the absolute pinnacle of dining to me, iāve been to pretty much every hotspot in nyc (carbone, misi, lilia, frenchette, dhamaka, red hook tavern on and on) and fradei is my number one and it is not close. i would argue its my favorite restaurant on earth. i think my passion for this place is how under the radar it is - she deserves a michelin star and doesnāt have one and that maybe makes me love it more. seats 14 people at a time, the servers all basically are professional sommeliers, the environment and atmosphere is extremely laid back but sophisticated, friendly easy and relaxed, and above all the food is LITERALLY?? every time i go, the best thing i have ever eaten in my life. like my head rolls back and i start hitting the table. every single time i go i cry a little and im not even joking in the slightest. itās not too hard of a rez either. GO!!!!!!!!!
