Cocoron
Cocoron’s menu assigns each dish a health benefit, and the stamina soba ($10) is supposed to increase just that. Served cold, the soba noodles are meant to be dipped in the accompanying bowl of hot and salty pork-infused broth, making for a more interactive dining experience.

Ramen Misoya
Take some time this month to try a steaming bowl of mame miso kara age ($13.80). Made to order in a rich, sweet bean miso broth, this traditional Japanese ramen dish is served with fried breaded shrimp and fried ginger chicken. As an added bonus, all ramen orders come with a free half-boiled egg.

Giovanni’s Brooklyn Eats
Similar to fettuccine, the ribbon-like pasta of Giovanni’s tagliatelle ai carciofi ($10.95) has a porous and rough texture that absorbs the thick tomato cream sauce. Moreover, the rich sauce is complimented by the artichoke hearts and authentic Italian mascarpone cheese.

Bianca Restaurant
Tagliatelle alla Bolognese ($9.50) is more than a standard spaghetti and meat sauce dish. The generous portions of ground meat are enriched with tomato and mushrooms making for a much heartier and satisfying meal.

Pisticci
Noodles are not just for lunch or dinner anymore. Pisticci offers a classic spaghetti ($8.95) and meatballs ($4) dish as part of its brunch menu. On Sundays, enjoy live jazz music while dining on comfort food.

S’MAC
The parisienne ($7.50) gives macaroni and cheese a mature makeover. With creamy Brie cheese, roasted figs, roasted shiitake mushrooms and fresh rosemary, this is a step up from the usual Kraft mac ‘n’ cheese.

Macbar
This classic macaroni and cheese ($5.99) is the epitome of comfort food. From the elbow macaroni noodles to the American and cheddar cheese blend, it is a little taste of home away from home.
