Best Fed Baby

Nothing like opening a new restaurant 7 months pregnant to put you on firm footing as the most badass human around. As our bookseller Penny said, “my feet are swelling just thinking about it”. But, as always, Matt and Christina have nailed it. They quietly and happily opened “Freddy’s” tonight ushering in a new era of happy family meals around the table, time with loved ones, and a smashing menu full of classic favorites and elevated specials. Yum.

Of course we had to sample it allll, so we started with country ham and cheddar croquettes, stracciatella, and the pork belly lettuce wraps. Everything freshly made and perfect.

We went with the classic burger (had to) with house made chip style fries (damn) and a delicious steaming bowl of rigatoni bolognese.

Followed up with dessert that we didn’t have room for, but just had to taste, a fabulous and decadent upside down pineapple cake and a super chocolate layer cake. Lordy folks. Get over there.

The ambiance is delightful, a family owned NY style restaurant that has been tucked right in to Pleasantville, the food made from scratch and cooked to perfection, service that will make you feel like part of the family, and just a really really casual happy vibe. We are so excited to see our favorite couple in such a happy new restaurant home. Go for dinner!!! Also, they’re using Resy which is a complete delight in making your life super easy. Make a reservation now.
