A Small Plate Place & a Bit of Prosecco

I decided to go here after reading the cheap eats roundup by ny mag.  Bar Stuzzichini made it for their $17 brunch.  For $17, you get three small plates (and trust me, they are veryy small) and the choice of prosecco or bellini.  The two of us got everything but two plates that they offered - the melon and proscuitto bruschetta (bad memories of our own attempts at proscuitto wrapped melon hor'dourves) and the strawberries&mascarpone dessert.  Three of the dishes were quiches (spaghetti, neopolitan pizza, and fritata di patata); one was fried shrimp and squid, another toast with marinara and egg, and the last, a pork ragu lasagne.  They were all pretty delicious (slightly on the lukewarm side though) but I was definitely a litlte concerned when I saw the portions.  They were TINY and I wasn't sure if I'd be full, much less the hungry one sitting across from me.  It ended up being a satisfactory amount...though I'd definitely find another place if I were hungrier or had a better appetite in general.  The decor as nymag mentioned is a little blah (kinda dark, plain, and large) and it was pretty darn empty when we went in at 11:45am.  It's really a 3.5 stars rating though - the food was good!
