Take a look inside Rocky Slim's, the Kips Bay pizzeria from Roberta's alum Angelo Romano

Angelo Romano made a name for himself in Brooklyn kitchens—The Pines, Roberta's, Masten Lake—but now the chef is giving Manhattan a go with a not-so-traditional Kips Bay pizza spot. The contemporary-minded menu gives New American an Italian accent—think wood-roasted chestnuts with Sambuca and fennel, celeriac with stracciatella and charred leeks, and pacherri pasta with parsnips and pecorino. And there will be pizza, naturally. The wood-fired rounds will come topped with mortadella and marjoram, sausage and pickled peppers, and guanciale and egg yolk. Check out some of the dishes and digs below:
