DiMaggio's scores home run
As for its food, Hamilton's [Joe DiMaggio]'s offers the kind that tastes like your mother would have cooked if she were Italian. The person responsible for that is Anna Putignano, who has worked in a number of fine Hamilton restaurants. If you do nothing else, try her tomato sauce. It is a testimony to excellent Italian cooking. This is a fine, thick, zesty sauce with body. There is not a trace of the bitterness I have found in many tomato sauces. In fact, it is so good you'll want to mop up every bit with the big, Portugeuse-style buns that are served with main-course dinners. You should also try DiMaggio's pizza and wings. Both are as exciting, food-wise, as a home run. The night I was there, it was a double-header. A medium pizza with wings on the side was $9.95. The 10 wings, ordered mild, were meaty and yummy with sauce that was neither too thin nor thick. But my daughter thought they were nippy. If they were mild, she wondered, what would the medium, hot or suicide be like? The eight-slice pizza had a thin, crispy crust and was suitably cheesy. You know you've got a good one when the cheese stretches like elastic from pizza to mouth. All of our food was good and hot when it came to our table. It made me realize that many restaurants aren't serving their food properly hot.
