Inatteso Pizzabar Casano is a chic little restaurant in the NYC neighborhood of Battery Park City. Historically, New Yorkers have hated to make the trek all the way to the end of the island, but I think times are a-changing! Lower Manhattan is making a comeback! At least this appeared to be the case on Friday night when myself, the hubby, and another couple had dinner at Inatteso.
If you couldn’t tell from the name, Inatteso is an Italian restaurant. Their specialty is brick oven pizza, and it’s pretty delicious! The menu can be viewed online here:

As you can tell from the menu, Inatteso presents a fresh, contemporary approach to Italian classics such as pizza, pasta, and seafood. The main attraction is the pizza and the menu showcases several specialty pizzas with tons of different toppings. Diners also have the choice to pick their own toppings. I shared the small Vesuviana with a friend. The small is round and serves 2; the large size is rectangular, and can probably feed 4. The Vesuviana came with tomato, anchovies, capers, mushroom, and peperoncini. It tasted a little salty, but I’m sure that was because of the anchovies and the capers. I still found it to be delectable and I would definitely go again.
As far as space goes, the dining room was a little tight, but what nyc restaurant isn’t? The decor was modern and there was ample space at the bar. The service was ok… everyone was friendly, but it took a while to get our order placed and also for the food to come.
I’d go again because I like the neighborhood. We even took a walk through Battery City Park afterwards
