A few months ago I wrote a post wondering if Jody Williams was the David Chang of the Italian wine bar. At the time Williams' new enoteca, Gottino, was getting accolades from NY Mag, Time Out and others. A few months later Bruni co-reviewed Gottino and Terroir and pointed to them as indicative of a trend toward thoughtful, high quality food presented in casual atmosphere saying, "they reflect the increasing degree to which distinguished cooking pops up in the unconventional, informal settings that many food lovers often prefer."
It's not just that the cooking is distinguished or consistently well executed that make Gottino a great place to sit down for a drink and a bite. It's also the heavy dose of personal creativity balanced with respect for tradition that that brings people back and gets Williams the kind of media praise that David Chang has been enjoying lately.
Watch the Gottino video below (or here) to hear Jody Williams talk about her sense of creativity and what it means to have no boundaries.
