La Devozione: The Oval

The first international outpost from Italy's 110-year-old, family-run Pastificio Di Martino, this multi-concept space nestled within the Chelsea Market houses a pasta shop along with two dining spaces, including The Oval. It is aptly named, as an oval-shaped, 30-seat counter awaits diners who will twirl their forks through a seven-course pasta tasting menu. It's all shapes, styles and sizes, and it's far from dainty, with plate after plate of pasta. Margheritine pasta is dressed with a cauliflower sauce and given a hearty dollop of caviar, while spiral twists sauced with bright red beet and anchovy are dramatically served in a wine glass and topped with goat cheese foam and almonds.
As expected, the strong wine list leans Italian.
