We\u2019re late to our reservation at Tucci, in Manhattan\u2019s NoHo neighborhood<\/a>. The hostess knows it, and she returns my sunniest smile with a rather frosty one. Nonetheless, we are quickly seated in the lushly cavernous basement in a corner table with a great view of the space. Obviously designed to feel bigger than it is, and obviously built to feel older and perhaps grander in that exposed stone wall kind of way, it still succeeds in giving an lofty, yet intimate, atmosphere. We are told the manager will stop and say hi, but they never make an appearance. We stop waiting and start deciding our culinary plan of action instead.<\/span><\/p>\n
