Everybody goes to this old-school Italian joint for the famous Pasta Limone, but don’t sleep on the underdog, Pizza Bianca. Topped with rosemary, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and truffle oil, Lil Frankie’s white pizza masters the art of less is more. The truffle oil adds an extra zest of flavor to your sauceless slice, without being too overpowering.

An oldie but a goodie, Chef Jean-Georges’ hip soho eatery serves one of the best truffle za’s in town. Jean Georges’ world-renowned Black Truffle Fontina Cheese Pizza is so good that it’s a staple at almost every one of his restaurants. The grated fontina cheese, frisee lettuce, special house dressing, chopped chives, and of course, mouth-watering truffle sauce, are key players to this delicious dish.

Mamo

There is no Mamo without the Focaccia al Tartufo. If this stylish Italian establishment is good enough for Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s engagement party, it’s more than good enough for your night out with the girls. Rather than using truffle oil, Mamo’s pizza is covered with loads of delectable truffle shavings—they’re not messing around.

919 Fulton St, Brooklyn/Website

This Instagram-famous pizza spot puts the most innovative spin on truffle pizza we’ve ever seen. Exclusive to the Clinton Hill location in Brooklyn, The Emily is made with homemade mozzarella, pistachios, truffle sottocenere, and honey. The addition of pistachios and honey is honestly genius, as it cuts the pungent, sometimes, overwhelming, taste of truffle.

Bar Pitti

Basic? Yes. Overrated? Absolutely not. If you say you don’t like the truffle pasta at Bar Pitti, you’re lying. Not just truffle sauce. Not just truffle oil. Real, party-in-your-mouth truffle. This authentic no-frills dish matches the rustic, cash-only vibes of this celebrity-studded Italian hub.

The Tagliolini with Black Summer Truffle at Obicà Mozzarella Bar is the perfect dish for a hot summer night. If you’re celiac, or just on that no gluten, go to pilates four times a week kick, then you’re in luck! Obica serves delicious gluten-free pasta alternatives that don't sacrifice the taste or quality.

Uva Wine Bar

Pasta and wine? Name a better combination, we’ll wait. The ricotta gnocchi with truffles at Uva Wine Bar is out of this world. The truffles literally look like they came straight out of a gold mine. The creamy ricotta sauce is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

Il Mulino Prime

The ravioli with porcini mushrooms and truffle cream sauce at Il Mulino Prime is the elite of the elite. An off-the-menu secret, this dish is absolutely to die for. It’s incredibly creamy and rich, so we recommend ordering lighter dishes to accompany this indulgent treat.

Fiaschetteria Pistoia

Multiple Locations/Website

This Tuscan-inspired East Village restaurant knows how to make pasta. And they really know how to make state-of-the-art truffle pasta. The key to the Tagliatella Tartufo at Fiaschetteria Pistoia is that the egg noodles are homemade. This dish is so fresh—so authentic—that it really tastes like you’re at an Osteria in Italy.

Feeling fancy? Let's go get some truffle!
