Drinking the Mozza

Yet another reason to love/hate the Mozzas is Joe Bastianich's secret stash of Italian digestif amaro. Love: "According to the Mozza staff, Bastianich dutifully smuggles these regionally produced after-dinner liqueurs back from his frequent trips to the Italian countryside like most people steal hotel towels." Hate: "Of course, the impossibly rare stuff is off limits to everyone but close personal friends of the Orange Croc'd One." More than a dozen amaros are actually "on- menu" for the dining public, some are even used in cocktails. And don't tell Danny DeVito: Look for house-made private-label limoncello later this month.
