‘Master of None’: The Ultimate Guide to the Restaurants and Bars From Season 2
Allora! Master of None Season 2 took Dev (Aziz Ansari) and us to Italy and back to New York City for more eating, drinking, and more eating.
Dev hit a lot of new hotspots this season, sometimes with pal Arnold (Eric Wareheim) and sometimes with TV Chef Jeff (Bobby Cannavale). He ate and drank everywhere from Smorgasburg to the dance club Good Room to the speakeasy PDT. And then, of course, there was his parade of dating app encounters! Funny, though, that his pickup line involved Whole Foods — “Going to Whole Foods, want me to pick you up anything?” — but Dev never actually went to one.
With the show’s first two episodes set in Italy, we also got to explore the small town of Modena. Dev even got served personally by Chef Massimo Bottura at Osteria Francescana, one of the top restaurants in the world (check out his episode of Netflix sibling show Chef’s Table).
