Motorino takes its place among the star'd
Turns out, Rachel Ray isn’t the only star to recently honor Motorino; the New York Times’s Sam Sifton awards to the Williamsburg (and East Village) pizzeriarie a brave, solitary star in today’s restaurant review. Motorino is the first pizza place to which Sifton has ever given a star, and he assuredly states that ‚”It serves the city’s best pizza.” Hear that? Not debatable. Sorry.
But srsly, if you were planning on eating at Motorino any time soon, I think it’s safe to expect a longer wait than usual. Or if you vehemently oppose Sifton’s appraisal, feel free to suggest your favorite neighborhood alternative in the comment section below…
the review itself was well written and deserved. the star system on NYTimes is the thing that doesn’t make any sense.
I was disappointed in Motorino when I had it a few months ago. It’s certainly not better than Fornino.
Rasputin- I agree with you. SIfton definitely justified Motorino’s star in the article. But he seems to have tacitly concluded that a pizza place can never get more than 1 star. Pizza-ist? Or is pizza an inherently casual food, and only “fancy” restaurants get more than 1 star?
well i think motorino is better than fornino. everyone has an opinion.
i don’t get how 1 out of 4 stars is ‘good.’
might as well get rid of the stars and just write ‘good.’
