AZIZ ANSARI and Alan Young’s Master of None is back with a second season — and a second round of must-visit restaurants, bars, and outdoor markets. This meal-by-meal guide will make you an expert on every foodie experience showcased on the hit Netflix show. Bon appetite!
Episode 1 “The Thief”
The start of the season sees Dev in the small Italian town of Modena, where he has been studying the art of pasta-making at Boutique del Tortellino. As a birthday gift to himself, he dines at Hosteria Giusti — and meets his first romance of the season over plates of mouth-watering pasta. They end an afternoon stroll with a pick-me-up at local wine bar, Archer. That night, he continues his birthday celebration with friends at Enoteca Compagnia del Taglio, a Modena eatery known for its wine and — big surprise — pasta. That birthday pie, alas, is not on the menu.

Episode 3 “Religion”
Back in NYC, Dev meets his parents and relatives at Oleanders, a retro-style fern bar and American eatery in Williamsburg. At his father’s prodding, Dev pretends to be an observant Muslim — though he later tempts his cousin into sin with a pork cubano from Slick Willie. To complete their fall from grace, Dev and cousin eat their way through Smorgasborg Williamsburg, an open-air food fairground where you can stuff your face with over 100 local vendors’ fares. While the featured Tickler BBQ is fictional, the actual pork was provided by Butcher Bar, which has locations in Astoria and the Lower East Side. At a second dinner with the relatives, Dev comes clean about his pork love affair at Thai Villa, where he orders — you guessed it — pork.

Later Dev pulls out his second-date skills for Priya, taking her to PDT, a hidden entrance speakeasy once voted best bar in the world.

Aside from Dev and his stomach, Dev’s real romance of season two is with his Italian crush, Francesca. After an hour wait, they gorge on tapas, red wine, and flirtations at Tertulia, before secretly texting at Francesca’s boyfriend’s birthday party at JIA Lounge.

After starting a new reality show together centered around food, Dev and Jeff Pastore film an episode at Okonomi where they dive into bacon and egg mazemen — if you’re looking to have the same, make sure you visit at night when the restaurant becomes Yuji Ramen. Later, over drinks with a friend at Wilfie & Nell, Dev figures out what every woman watching the show already knows: Jeff is just as slimy as he seems. After a sexual harassment scandal blows up his new show, Dev heads to get relationship advice from Arnold at the LES hotspot Nitecap.
