Now Open: Chef Joe Flamm’s Roman-Inspired Restaurant, Il Carciofo, in Fulton Market

Chef Joe Flamm officially opened the doors to his Roman-inspired restaurant il Carciofo, Thursday, December 12. Drawing inspiration from restaurants and markets in Rome, il Carciofo offers guests a seasonal menu of Italian fare, with antipastis like prosciutto di parma, Carciofi alla Guida and suppli con ragu, Roman-style pizzas like the Pizza Rosso from a custom Wood Stone oven, hand rolled pastas such as the Spaghettone Cacio e Pepe, Gnocchetti Pesto and Rigatoni alla Carbonara, produced daily in a dedicated pasta lab that doubles as a private event space.
